Google’s major personnel adjustments: The myth of Indian CEOs is no longer true. To engage in AI, Chinese talents are still needed. Among the top three AI companies in the United States, Google has clearly fallen behind this year. A number of major personnel adjustments were announced early this morning. Several AI masters who laid the foundation of the company’s AI have left again, triggering heated discussions. This is not the first time that Google has experienced a loss of AI talent. The last wave of intensive adjustments was at the end of June. The eight core authors of the Transformer paper left one after another. Counting this adjustment, the heavyweight AI team that defined the Google AI era will almost have to be replaced. This also caused Google's stock price to plummet by 4%. It is hard to say whether the Gemini large model can return to its peak after the Google AI talent change. However, Google’s high and low performance in the AI ​​field has caused another discussion, that is, a narrative myth promoted by the American media many years ago has been shattered—few technology giants run by Indian CEOs have done well in the AI ​​era. Google CEO Pichai has been in office for 11 years. When he held this position, the Internet was touting Indian-American elites as leaders in the U.S. technology industry. At that time, many senior executives in the U.S. high-tech industry were Indian-American talents. The person who served as CEO of technology giants earlier than Pichai was Microsoft CEO Nadella, who took the helm of Microsoft in 2014. In addition, the CEOs of other companies, such as Adobe, IBM, Micron, and Palo Alto, are also of Indian origin. For a time, finding Indians as CEOs became a standard practice for American technology companies to reverse their difficulties. However, in the AI ​​era, whether it is Microsoft, Google or the companies mentioned above, companies run by Indian-origin CEOs have missed opportunities in large-scale AI models. Especially Microsoft and Google, which have the best resources in the industry in terms of funds, talents, computing power and other resources. As a result, the large-scale model business has either never had a sense of existence, or it has started high and gone low, leaving everyone in the dark. Among U.S. companies, the most prominent Indian CEO in the AI ​​era is Micron. However, the company’s current performance surge is mainly due to the price increase of memory and flash memory. Without this price increase cycle, Micron’s performance in 23 and 24 years would still be a huge loss. In the AI ​​​​era, American companies do well because Chinese talents are CEOs or lead technology research and development. It is no news that the CEOs of the three major AI chip companies AMD, NVIDIA and Intel are Chinese. Many core researchers at OpenAI, Anthropic are also Chinese, and they are even former overseas students in China. The same is true for Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta and other companies. via cn
