At Google, AI is reshaping employees\u2019 titles and how they work. Last month, Google Cloud\u2019s senior director and chief evangelist, Richard Seroter, told Fast Company<\/em> that software engineers have turned into product engineers, or architects, as they move away from manual coding to directing teams of AI agents. It seems that AI has changed how Google CEO Sundar Pichai works, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI just think the CEO job is not that complicated,\u201d Pichai said when asked how close AI is to replacing him as a CEO during a recent interview with The Verge<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThere are aspects of it where I think [AI] is going to be very, very helpful in terms of decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n The CEO added that AI can \u201cmake more rational choices over time.\u201d He also said that \u201cthere are very, very few decisions that are really consequential\u2014most decisions are not.\u201d Instead, Pichai said, making decisions and keeping the company moving forward is most important.<\/p>\n \u201cDone correctly, these tools are going to allow us to operate at the next level in everything we are doing,\u201d Pichai continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not like you won\u2019t do what you were doing before. You will start from a higher foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n Pichai likened AI agents to the advent of other innovations in the workplace, like spreadsheets. \u201cI have to think back to, \u2018how did people do all this financial analysis before?\u2019\u201d he asked. \u201cI\u2019m sure it changed over a period of three to four years fundamentally, and we got used to it.\u201d<\/p>\n With AI, some companies are restructuring their organizations completely. <\/p>\n
