Nowadays everyone uses ChatGPT. But when it was revealed to the world for the first time, even the world's tech leaders were surprised. The reaction that Google CEO Sundar Pichai gave after seeing ChatGPT for the first time has now come to light. He had said that this technology is going to spread in the world faster than expected. The launch of ChatGPT in 2022 shocked the entire tech world, even Google was not untouched by it. This one shock completely changed the race of AI.
When ChatGPIT first came out, Sundar Pichai immediately understood that the era of AI was about to change rapidly. He said that this technology will reach people much sooner and faster than expected. He described this experience as uncomfortably exciting, that is, it was both encouraging and a little uncomfortable. This reaction shows that at that time the speed of AI had surprised even the big tech leaders.
After the launch of ChatGPT, a Code Red like situation was created inside Google. According to reports, the company rapidly started work on its AI projects. The result of this race was Gemini 3, which is now considered to be Google's most advanced AI model. This model, launched in 2025, competed with its competitors in many benchmarks. It is clear from this that Google made a strong comeback by rapidly changing its strategy.
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT as the first product, which gave it a big advantage. Pichai also admitted that Google already had this technology, but he wanted to prepare it as per his quality standards. He said that if the circumstances had been different, Google too could have launched its chatbot in a few months. This shows how important it is to launch at the right time.
According to Pichai, Google always works on a full-stack approach, which includes everything from infrastructure to AI models. It may seem from outside that the company is slow, but inside there are constant preparations going on. Under this strategy, Google strengthened its AI system and then implemented it on a large scale. Now the company is moving towards strengthening its hold in every aspect of AI.
