Mountain View, California: If ever you wanted a crisp summarisation of what artificial intelligence (AI) has achieved in a rather short window of time, Sundar Pichai, chief executive officer, Google and Alphabet put it rather eloquently. “More intelligence is available, for everyone, everywhere. And the world is responding, adopting AI faster than ever before…What all this progress means is that we’re in a new phase of the AI platform shift. Where decades of research are now becoming a reality for people, businesses and communities all over the world,” he said.
