I wouldn't want somebody to give presentations as a head of Google. On the contrary, I hate when people produce vapor.
Microsoft bought their AI solution. We will see if they can successfully integrate it. I am not yet sure about that. I hardly call that innovation though.
Microsoft's strengths, for a long time, have been product. They bought AI, integrated it really quickly, and got people excited about it. That result is what a product org does.
Google is supposed to invent or innovate, but in recent times that hasn't been their forte either. Microsoft is far more interesting as a product company than Google is.

They used to be, but they haven't been that for a long, long time.
those times are gone though and Google definitely needs someone more proactive and focused
That's putting it mildly
> He shouldn’t be doing interviews
He should not be running Google at all, period.
Google is supposed to be a technical firebrand and their cloud isn't dominant, and their AI product and market position got punk'd by Microsoft... and he's out there saying things like AI will be a bigger discovery than fire. Which calls into question: so why isn't Google a leader in AI, or seem to be?
It's a bad PR thread for Google, and he lacked any Q factor in those interview clips.
