Google Unveils Ambitious AI Roadmap for 2024 Amidst Widespread Layoffs

Google has been on hiatus since 2023, but with artificial intelligence at the forefront of its focus, the company has big plans for 2024, which were leaked in a media report published earlier this week. One thing is clear about the roadmap: artificial intelligence will be a big part of Google’s business strategy in various industries over the next 11 months.

Interestingly, we also see words like efficiency and cost savings ending up in the memo, which suggests that more pink slips have been laid out, as Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO has stated in recent reports. The search giant actually has not one or two but seven goals, according to a leaked memo cited by The Verge. Pichai has basically laid out Google’s plans in front of his employees in a memo, clearly looking at the impetus to build on the hype and demand for AI and bring it to various products in the coming months.

7 big goals for Google for 2024

– The first goal talks about delivering the world’s most advanced and safest artificial intelligence to everyone. This point has to do with the core focus of Google’s AI models, not rushing it to market and putting the right disclaimers in place to keep expectations in check.

– Google wants to improve knowledge, learning, creativity and productivity, which probably looks at professional issues and also employee skills.

– The company is also aware of continuing the strategy of products, devices and platforms intended for personal use.

– Google wants more customers to use the tools and resources offered by its cloud business.

– The company once again emphasizes the need to offer the world’s most reliable products and platforms.

– Google wants the company to be exceptional for Google employees and the whole world.

– And finally, Google wants to improve speed, efficiency and productivity and generate sustainable cost savings throughout the year.

It’s interesting to see Google mention these tips, and the timing seems a bit awkward, as thousands of workers have been laid off in the past few weeks and will be reading these media outlets carefully to see what Google has to say about their decisions. . Pichai mentioned that tough decisions have to be made and transactions have to prove their worth or else criticism will only increase among the public.
