Google’s newly formed 'Platforms and Devices' team is all about AI


Pixel, Android, Chrome, and ChromeOS are now all one big AI-friendly family.

Over the last couple of years, though, that relationship has shifted: Google’s hardware team has sought to both build great devices and show the rest of the Android world where things can go. And Cristiano Amon, the CEO of Qualcomm and one of the first people briefed on this change, said in a statement that “I look forward to working with Rick to deliver leading Android experiences powered by Snapdragon not only in mobile but across Auto, XR and Compute.” Changes like this seem to be part of an ongoing cycle at Google, a company that famously allows for a sprawling, largely autonomous working environment — which is how you get Gmail but also a thousand messaging apps and under-integrated products — and then occasionally makes an effort to consolidate around bigger initiatives and improving profits.
