Alphabet was just named to TIME’s #Time100Companies list 🎉 In the story on Google’s push to the front of the AI race, TIME’s Andrew R. Chow writes: “In 2016, [Sundar Pichai] had declared Google would be an “AI-first company,” and began cultivating a series of projects—custom chips, Cloud, YouTube, and deep AI research—that seemed to have nothing to do with Google’s core search product. All of these bets have paid off, and then some.” See the full story: https://lnkd.in/eUv9p8te

On today’s Q1 2026 earnings call, Sundar Pichai recapped a terrific start to the year, with our AI investments and full-stack approach lighting up every part of the business. Check out all the highlights ⬇️
Q1 earnings are in: 2026 is off to a terrific start thanks to our partners + employees around the world. Our AI investments and full stack approach are lighting up every part of the business: Search queries are at an all-time high with AI continuing to drive usage. Google Cloud revenue grew 63%, Gemini models have incredible momentum, and it was our strongest quarter ever for consumer AI subs, driven by the Gemini app. Overall the number of paid subscriptions has now reached 350 million, with YouTube and Google One being the key drivers. Beyond the topline numbers - a few other highlights that show the progress: - Faster results: Even as we’ve brought new AI features into our results page, we’ve reduced Search latency by more than 35% over the past 5 years. - Enterprises’s agentic era is here: Over the past 12 months, 330 Google Cloud customers each processed over 1T tokens, while 35 reached the 10T token milestone. And in Q1, Gemini Enterprise paid monthly active users grew 40% quarter-over-quarter. - Twice the rides: Waymo has doubled the amount of fully autonomous rides in less than a year, now operating in 11 US cities. Much more to come at I/O, 20 days away! https://lnkd.in/gzRgFqAB

Meet Abineya, a Senior Strategist on our Trust & Safety team. “I started my career as a software engineer,” she says of her path to Google. “But over time, I realized I wanted a role that blended my technical foundation with more strategy and detective-style problem solving.” Driven by that curiosity, she decided to get an MBA. While working on her MBA, a stint at an ad company helped everything fall into place. “I became fascinated by the mechanics of the ad ecosystem and, more importantly, how to protect it,” she explains. When she saw the Senior Strategist opening at Google, “something just clicked.” As she says, “It felt like the right blend of everything I’d done and everything I wanted to grow into.” Now, Abineya uses her "detective brain" to solve complex safety challenges. Her biggest takeaway from the journey? “The things that spark your curiosity — even the quirky, oddly specific ones — are rarely random. They show up for a reason. And sometimes, they’re quietly leading you exactly where you’re meant to end up.” Explore our open roles and opportunities → https://goo.gle/3LY3x2Y

To celebrate Google Translate turning 20, we’re running it back with 20 tips and fun facts you may not know about Translate: 🟢 We’ve been using AI and machine learning in Google Translate since the beginning. In fact, it was one of the initial Google Research experiments that kickstarted our machine learning work. 🔵 The most commonly translated phrase on Google Translate — this month, like almost every month for the past 20 years — was “thank you.” Other top translations include: “How are you?” “I love you,” “Hello,” and “Please.” 🟡 Translate supports 95% of the world’s population and is available in nearly 250 languages. 🔴 More than 1 billion users translate around 1 trillion words every month using Translate — that’s enough text to keep someone reading out loud 24/7 for the next 12,000 years. 🟢 We just launched one of our most requested features: pronunciation practice, which uses AI to analyze your speech and provide instant feedback on your delivery. Now available in the Translate app on Android in the U.S and India, starting with English, Spanish and Hindi. Read the rest of our list, plus more about some of the newest Google Translate features ➡️ https://goo.gle/4t0057e

“The Forum was about AI and the economy. From where I sat, the economy was also a man in his sixties asking whether he should fly to his daughter’s wedding next month, given that his neutrophils are low and the trip will exhaust him, and whether it matters. That question has no correct answer in any dataset. It requires someone who has learned to hold uncertainty without flinching, who can speak honestly without cruelty, and stay in the room with whatever the answer turns out to be. The technology does not generate that capacity. The technology returns the time to practice it.” Interesting takeaways from oncologist Douglas Flora, MD, LSSBB after attending our AI for the Economy Forum this month in Washington, DC with James Manyika and Ruth Porat. The event brought together economists, industry leaders, policymakers and workforce experts to discuss AI’s impact on jobs and the economy, and how we can all work together to navigate the AI transition successfully.
