Google has a lot of AI services in its portfolio, but is also using AI itself to build AI products. The company doesn’t hide that. “We also use AI internally to improve our coding processes, which increases productivity and efficiency. Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, and then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers get more done and move faster,” Pichai said in a blog post.
