If your business is static, you're likely to have issues.

One of our big goals in search is to make search that really understands exactly what you want, understands everything in the world. As computer scientists, we call that artificial intelligence.

My grandfather was an autoworker, and I have a weapon he manufactured to protect himself from the company that he would carry to work. It's a big iron pipe with a hunk of lead on the head. I think about how far we've come as companies from those days, where workers had to protect themselves from the company.

I feel like my job as CEO is always to be pushing people ahead.

Google will fulfill its mission only when its search engine is AI-complete. You guys know what that means? That's artificial intelligence.

Our mission is to organize the world's information. Clearly, the more information we have when we do a search, the better it's going to work.

We have always tried to concentrate on the long term, and to place bets on technology we believe will have a significant impact over time. It's hard to imagine now, but when we started Google most people thought search was a solved problem and that there was no money to be made apart from some banner advertising. We felt the exact opposite: that search quality was very poor, and that awesome user experiences would clearly make money.
