The next decade will see profound changes in computing, driven by advancements in AI and the transition from traditional software to AI-driven solutions.

The next decade in AI will focus on understanding new data, particularly from smartphones and their cameras, which are positioned in the 3D world, rather than just analyzing existing data.

Google has been operating with an AI-first mindset since 2015, believing that AI will drive significant advancements in search technology.

The next decade will see a significant trend in startups focusing on applying narrow AI to various industries, automating tasks that humans currently perform.

To navigate the fast-evolving AI landscape, startups should think from first principles about what the market will need in the long term, rather than just focusing on immediate needs.

The rapid advancements in AI technology are leading to a divergence in strategies among companies, with some focusing on self-improving AI while others prioritize consumer-oriented products.

This year, Google talked about AI differently, urging people to engage actively and invest in their technology, emphasizing that AI is a superpower that can help users achieve more.

In the early 2010s, many software businesses transitioned to the cloud, creating numerous opportunities for founders to replace outdated software. We are currently experiencing a similar moment with AI, where existing software can be rebuilt from scratch to integrate AI effectively.

AI is a horizontal technology that impacts all areas of Google's business, from search to cloud services, and will drive new business opportunities.
