Google CEO Claims AI Development Pace Finally Cooling Down

AI's rapid progress since ChatGPT's debut is slowing, says Google CEO Sundar Pichai at the DealBook Summit, offering a cautious outlook for 2025.

Details:

The era of rapid AI breakthroughs is over; future progress demands major technological advances. Current models will improve incrementally, but no near-term revolutions are expected
Leaders are split: Microsoft’s Nadella likens AI’s path to uneven industrial progress, while OpenAI’s Altman remains optimistic about limitless potential
Despite $1T+ investments, AI profits are scarce for businesses. However, AI jobs are lucrative, with trainers earning $64K+ and prompt engineers $110K+

Pichai sees a bright future, predicting AI will make programming accessible to millions within a decade, highlighting its long-term transformative potential despite slower progress.
