I/O 2024 preview: How does Google become the AI-first company 

At I/O 2016 and 2017, Sundar Pichai said Google was moving from “mobile first to AI first.” This involved “rethinking all [its] products and applying machine learning,” with search in Photos and Smart Reply being early examples of that.
