Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin launched Google in September 1999 after receiving a $100,000 investment from Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bektorsheim. We have become a corporation. At the time of its founding, Google used the garage owned by Susan Wojczyski, who served as CEO of YouTube until 2023, as an office. The history of Google up to its incorporation is summarized in detail on the following page.

Mr. Sundar Pichai, who is the CEO of Google at the time of article creation, is a person who joined Google in 2004. Mr. Pichai said, 'I was searching on Google in the spring of 2003,'How to pass the Google interview test?'', 'As time goes by, Google will answer those questions 'I've gotten better at it.'

According to Mr. Pichai, Google offers 15 types of services, each of which is used by more than 500 million people, and six types of services are used by more than 2 billion people. Mr. Pichai says that all of Google's service development begins with some kind of question. For example, Gmail began development with the question, ``Can we provide 1GB of storage for all users?'', Chrome began development with the question, ``Can we develop a simple, fast, and secure browser?'' Ta.

Also, Google has grown by deliberately ignoring the 'impossible'. For example, Google boldly challenged what seemed impossible at the time of `` putting a computer in everyone's pocket '', and at the time of writing the article, there were about 30 smartphones equipped with Google's OS `` Android '' around the world. There are now 100 million units in operation.

However, not all of Google's product development was successful. Mr. Pichai cites the collaboration tool `` Google Wave '', which was forced to end the service about two years after its announcement, as an example, and says that it is important to learn from failures and continue to strive to achieve better results. The following article summarizes in detail what kind of tool Google Wave was and why it failed.

In recent years, AI services such as ChatGPT have rapidly gained users, and Google has also announced AI products such as chat AI ' Bard ' and work assistance AI ' Duet AI ' one after another. According to Pichai, since the early 2000s, Google has been using machine learning to implement operations such as 'correcting spelling errors' and 'improving the quality of advertisements'. After that, Google acquired the AI research company 'DeepMind' in 2014 and has been focusing on AI research.

Pichai said that when he became Google's CEO in 2015, he planned to shift Google's focus to AI. After that, Google released processing chips such as ` ` Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) '' optimized for machine learning, and has accelerated AI-related research and development. 'AI will be the most significant technological change we have experienced,' Pichai said. 'AI's impact will be greater than the transition from desktop to mobile and potentially greater than the birth of the Internet itself. 'AI is rewiring technology and incredibly accelerating human ingenuity,' he said, indicating his continued focus on AI.
