Editor’s Note: Last week, our CEO Sundar Pichai visited Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) as part of the President’s Lecture Series, which aims to engage and inspire the CMU community.

Google has deep ties to CMU, from opening our first Pittsburgh office on their campus, to hiring alumni who have gone on to have a huge impact on technology, to collaborating with CMU’s Robotics Institute and others.

Last week I participated in the President’s Lecture Series and sat down for a fireside chat with CMU President Jahanian.

In the talk, I shared my thoughts on why AI is a fundamental platform shift and how it’s accelerating scientific discoveries to help people in remarkable ways. You can watch it here or above.
