Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, has multiple successful teams dedicated to hardware and Android, working independently. However, the rapid development of AI has prompted Google to take a proactive approach, which had been under internal consideration for a significant period, as indicated by senior team leaders. Google has decided to merge the Android and hardware devices teams into a single entity named Platforms and Devices. This new department will be responsible for overseeing all of Google’s products.
Rick Osterloh, previously the Senior Vice President of devices and services, has been appointed the newly established Platforms and Devices team leader. He supervised all hardware endeavors conducted by the technology behemoth. He will now supervise the following products:
Pixel, Android, and Chrome.
ChromeOS is an operating system that can be used for several purposes, including managing and organizing photos and other files.
Hiroshi Lockheimer has overseen Android, Chrome, and ChromeOS for several years. He will now supervise and manage more initiatives within Google and Android.
Osterloh, in conversation with The Verge, emphasized the significance of integrating hardware, software, and AI to demonstrate AI’s transformative potential in enhancing user experience. This statement further affirms that AI played a central role in integrating the teams.
He also mentioned GPU, as in Tensor products, would be faster to improve when both the teams work as a single or more.
The Verge editor David Pierce spoke to Osterloh and Lockheimer, who were seated in the latter’s office on Google Meet. The editor said they have been friends and colleagues, and they laughed loudly when he jokingly suggested that the new team change resulted from “some internal power struggle.” Lockheimer said that now was the right time for something that had been under discussion for more than two years
In earlier reports, CWEB has reported on Google’s various breakthroughs and advances with Gemini. It also mentioned a rise in stock price as the tech giant’s stock will gain additional value as it monetizes and improves its AI products, which have been implemented across all its products.
Alphabet’s Google (GOOGL) has now streamlined Android and devices as one team, which is bound to increase the speed by which it brings its suite of next-gen products that would positively affect its share price.
