Google announces major hardware and software reorg with AI at the center

Google says this is for "our AI future."

Per a note submitted by Pichai, the restructuring process will arrive in four parts, but the company's newly announced "Platforms and Devices" team spells a major shift for Google. Google's Rick Osterloh will be at the helm of this new team, overseeing the delivery of "higher quality products and experiences" for the user and company partners. Hiroshi Lockheimer, longtime Android lead, will act as an adviser during the transition before kickstarting a new executive sponsor role for Google in Japan.
