Google’s CEO says ‘AI is positively impacting every part of the business’

Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, has stated that AI is "positively impacting every part of the business." In the company's Q2 2025 earnings report, Pichai highlighted the success of features like AI Overviews and AI Mode, which are performing well and driving increased user engagement. Alphabet, Google's parent company, is also planning to increase its capital expenditures for the year to $85 billion, indicating a focus on expanding its data center infrastructure to meet the growing demand for cloud services. During the quarter, Alphabet reported revenue of $96.4 billion, up 14% year-over-year, with Google Search segment revenue reaching $54.1 billion. The company's Gemini app now has 450 million monthly active users, with daily requests growing over 50% from Q1. Pichai also mentioned the company's recent I/O developer conference, which featured numerous AI-focused announcements, including the rollout of AI Mode for Search and upgrades to video and image generation models. Lastly, Alphabet is anticipating the ruling from the Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit against Google, which could potentially result in the company being broken up.
