Google CEO: AI development is finally slowing down—‘the low-hanging fruit is gone’


Google CEO Sundar Pichai says AI development may feel slower in 2025 — and tech companies will "need deeper breakthroughs" than today's chatbots to get ahead.

Current language models — like ChatGPT, Google's Gemini or Meta's Llama — will keep getting incrementally better, particularly "at reasoning, completing a sequence of actions more reliably," Pichai said. Those improvements could help push AI closer to generating profits for corporate users — which isn't happening yet, despite investments in the technology that are expected to surpass $1 trillion "in coming years," according to a recent Goldman Sachs report. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, for example, posted "there is no wall" on social media platform X in November — a response to reports that the recently released ChatGPT-4 was only moderately better than previous models.
