Google's Pichai Sees 'Move From Mobile-First To An AI-First World'

Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT) and other rivals of Alphabet (GOOGL)-owned Google had better raise their game in artificial intelligence. So said Sundar Pichai, Google's chief executive, Thursday in an open letter. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin normally write the founder's letter, in the tradition of Berkshire Hathaway's (BRKA) Warren Buffett. But Pichai wrote this year's note. Pichai says that AI is key not only to its core search business and mobile computing, but also to Google's push into the enterprise (corporate) market and cloud computing.
