He credited that decision as a smart call and noted that some researchers involved in Google\u2019s early AI work later joined OpenAI, including Ilya Sutskever\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"google-still-holds-deep-ai-advantages\"><\/span><b>Google Still Holds Deep AI Advantages<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite acknowledging the missed opportunity, Brin pushed back against the idea that Google lost its edge entirely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He pointed to the company\u2019s deep investment in neural networks, large-scale data infrastructure, custom chips, and years of research as assets that continue to shape its AI efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those advantages are now being applied more directly to products like Search and Gemini as Google works to regain momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-googles-ai-changes-feel-sudden\"><\/span><b>Why Google\u2019s AI Changes Feel Sudden<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brin\u2019s comments help explain the pace of recent changes at Google.
