Google CEO Supports AI "Hyperprogress” and Urges Governments to Innovate

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has called for accelerating the development of artificial intelligence and maintaining investment in this field, amid growing calls for stricter regulations.

The statements were made in New Delhi, at the AI Impact Summit, where the company leader spoke about the transformative potential of the technology, according to the EFE agency. "We are on the cusp of hyperprogress and new discoveries that can help emerging economies make a qualitative leap and overcome historical gaps. But this result is not guaranteed and does not happen automatically,” Pichai said.

• Call: role of innovators, not just regulators

The Google boss urged authorities to adopt an active approach in integrating artificial intelligence into public services, such as health systems or infrastructure management. "We cannot afford to let the digital divide become an AI divide,” he warned, stressing the importance of maintaining investment and avoiding excessive restrictions.

• Examples of scientific and social impact

Pichai cited the contributions of AI to scientific research as an example, mentioning tools that have accelerated discoveries in biology and medicine and are used by millions of researchers around the world to study infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance. He also recalled his personal experiences as a student in India, recalling the transformation of once modest regions into technology hubs.

• Professional training and combating disinformation

On the same occasion, the Google CEO announced the global launch of a new professional certificate in artificial intelligence aimed at training employees.

Pichai emphasized that technology is not only automating tasks, but also creating new professions, giving as an example the development of the content creator economy. In the context of the risks of disinformation, he supported the use of content verification tools for journalists and the public, stating that trust remains the central element of the adoption of new technologies.
