Google CEO Sundar Pichai has announced a major internal reorganization, combining Android, Chrome, and hardware divisions into a 'Platforms and Devices' team.

The reorganization aims to streamline decision-making, accelerate progress, and improve product quality and user experience.

It also includes the consolidation of AI teams from Google's Research and DeepMind divisions to boost AI innovation and respond to AI safety concerns.

In light of global calls for AI regulation, the Responsible AI teams will move from Research to DeepMind.

Despite criticism of its Gemini AI model, Google is escalating its investment in AI with plans to release new AI models by 2024.

This reorganization represents a strategic shift in Google's management of its ecosystems and has potential implications for its partners.
