Pichai emphasised the significance of AI adoption in nations like India, where advancements in technology present unique opportunities for development. He illustrated how India may employ AI tools to continue growing by citing the nation's rapid adoption of mobile technology.
"AI tools...India is the top country in terms of user base for many of our products. We're determined to provide the same AI resources. We are noticing a lot of development going on with the current AI tools. thrilling time. As the world moves towards AI, India will be well-positioned," he said.
