Eric Schmidt Says Google Is Falling Behind on AI – And Remote Work Is Why

Posted by msmash from the how-about-that dept.

Eric Schmidt, ex-CEO and executive chairman at Google, said his former company is losing the AI race and remote work is to blame. From a report: “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning,” Schmidt said at a talk at Stanford University. “The reason startups work is because the people work like hell.” Schmidt made the comments earlier at a wide-ranging discussion at Stanford. His remarks about Google’s remote-work policies were in response to a question about Google competing with OpenAI.
