Sundar Pichai said Google Search would “change dramatically” next year.
Google’s popular search engine would “change dramatically” over the next year, Google CEO Sundar Pichai told The New York Times‘ DealBook Summit. During the talk, Pichai acknowledged the challenges, but said “Google could innovate fast enough to overcome them.”
Drastic changes
“I think even early in 2025 you will be surprised what newer things search can do compared to where it is today,” Pichai said at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit on Wednesday. Despite the challenges and competition facing the company, he said “Google could innovate fast enough to overcome them.”

In addition to these promising statements about Google’s future prospects, Pichai also took time to talk about Microsoft. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had previously said that Google has not made an insurmountable AI advance, and should have been the “default winner.”
Pichai responds by saying he wants to make a comparison with Microsoft’s own models. “They are using someone else’s models,” he states. By this he is referring to OpenAI’s collaboration with Microsoft.
Legal pressure
In addition to increasing competition, Google is currently under legal pressure. For example, the U.S. Department of Justice wants Google to sell its Chrome, because it has designated Google as a monopolist. In addition, the DOJ also wants Google to decouple its Android operating system from its own services.
