You're at a pivotal moment in the company's history today. Have you read the innovator's dilemma? I'm obviously
00:00:05
very very familiar with the concept. I don't think I've read the book actually, but but you know, it's one of those
00:00:09
things which is so much in the ether you think you know it. I say it in justest because that's the talk of the town, the
00:00:15
talk on Wall Street, the talk in Silicon Valley. Is Google getting disrupted in this moment? Consumers are asking AI
00:00:21
questions through chat interfaces. They're getting complete answers. They're engaging with AI systems in a
00:00:27
way that they traditionally didn't do with the classical search interface. Is Google at risk of being truly disrupted
00:00:33
from AI? Is the core search business, which the ad revenue on search is about a $200 billion run rate out of 360
00:00:40
billion of your total revenue most of your profits? Is Google being disrupted by AI at this moment or is Google
00:00:45
leading? I view this as an extraordinary opportunity for search. We launched AI overviews about a year ago. Getting the
00:00:52
feedback from AI overviews recently. We testing it in labs. There's a whole new dedicated AI experience called AI mode
00:00:58
coming to search. And in AI mode, you can have a full-on AI experience in search, including follow on
00:01:05
conversational queries. People are typing in queries like literally long paragraphs. So we are seeing people
00:01:11
respond. We kind of know what works. Users are are our northstar and empirically we see that people are
00:01:17
engaging more and using the product more. Right? So to your question about innovators dilemma, I think the dilemma
00:01:23
only exists if you treat it as a dilemma. All along in technology, you have these massive periods of innovation
00:01:29
and you lean into it as hard as you can. It's the only way to do
