Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced a significant leadership change as Prabhakar Raghavan steps down from overseeing the search engine and ads products. Raghavan will transition to the role of Chief Technologist, focusing on technical direction and leadership. Nick Fox, a seasoned Google executive, will take over Raghavan's previous responsibilities. The adjustment coincides with a strategic move to enhance AI capabilities and comes amid ongoing antitrust challenges facing the company. Pichai also revealed that the Gemini app team will merge with Google DeepMind to boost collaboration and efficiency in AI product development.
