In a company-wide address earlier this week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai encouraged employees to rely more on artificial intelligence tools rather than reaching out to coworkers for help with everyday tasks. The move is part of a broader internal shift to boost efficiency and productivity across teams.
Employees are being encouraged to reduce dependencies on colleagues for day-to-day work and instead lean on tools like Cider, Google’s in-house AI coding assistant, and the company’s Gemini suite of generative AI models.
According to internal data, over 25% of new code at Google is now being generated by AI, with human engineers then reviewing and optimising it. Adoption rates are only expected to grow as the company rolls out more training and incentives to build an “AI-first” work environment.
“Anytime you go through a period of extraordinary investment, you respond by adding a lot of headcount, right? But in this AI moment, I think we have to accomplish more by taking advantage of this transition to drive higher productivity,” Pichai said during the address.
To support this transition, Google has rolled out programs such as “AI Savvy Google”, which includes training resources, workshops, and guidelines to help every employee, from engineers to product managers, integrate AI into their daily workflows.
“We are going to be going through a period of much higher investment, and I think we have to be frugal with our resources, and I would strive to be more productive and efficient as a company,” Pichai added. He also said he was “very optimistic” about how the company is currently performing.
This cultural and operational reset comes at a time when Google’s parent company, Alphabet, is making its largest-ever bet on AI infrastructure. The company has raised its projected capital expenditure for 2025 to 85 billion dollars, up from 75 billion dollars earlier this year.
A bulk of this spending is expected to go into building and expanding infrastructure, including data centres, custom AI chips, and energy supply systems that can support the enormous computing demands of large-scale AI models and services across Alphabet’s portfolio.
This aggressive investment signals that Alphabet views AI not just as a technological priority but as a defining business engine for the future. From search to cloud to consumer services, AI is being embedded into every corner of Alphabet’s ecosystem, backed by the company’s deepest financial commitment yet.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has consistently positioned artificial intelligence as the most transformative technology of our time. His public remarks and internal directives reveal not only a strategic commitment to AI but also a deeply philosophical belief in its potential.
Pichai has repeatedly said that AI will be more impactful than electricity or fire, placing it alongside the most revolutionary forces in human history. He believes that AI will change how we work, learn, discover, and even live.
