Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai today gave the commencement speech to Stanford University’s Class of 2026.
The Stanford alum starts by noting how this is just his second commencement speech, with the first being a filmed address during COVID in 2020 as part of a virtual YouTube series.
Right off the bat, Pichai addresses how graduates during other addresses in recent weeks booed any mention of AI.
…people have also been giving me a lot of advice on what to say. Actually, it’s been the same advice, and it’s about what not to say. People thought it would be really difficult for me; it is the last two letters of my last name, after all.
With some humor, he continues about how the “most timeless advice, I’ve learned, is technology agnostic.”
