Internet search giant Google on Tuesday announced artificial intelligence (AI) and security as its top priority among the host of services it offers as it kicked off its annual event - Next - for the third successive year here in San Francisco. The company announced several updates to Google Cloud apps and services with back-to-back addresses by its top honchos, including a surprise dash by Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Cloud top executive Diane Greene at the keynote address. The software giant referred itself as a "modern enterprise company" and its primary business as "information", saying its hallmark service Google Cloud was built to efficiently take in information, organise it, and give back intelligence, in order to drive their business - supercharged information. "Our mission is to organise world's information. And make it universally accessible and useful. I am always talking of being fortunate as a company as a timeless machine. One that feels as it did 20 years ago," Pichai told a 20,000-estimated attendance at Moscone Center in San Francisco.
