Google pushes employees to use AI in daily tasks
Google is nudging its team to use artificial intelligence (AI) in daily tasks, hoping to boost productivity and edge out its rivals like Microsoft and TCS.
CEO Sundar Pichai is encouraging everyone to tap into these tools for smoother workflows and better results.
AI coding assistant Cider already used by half of engineers
Since rolling out new AI tools, Google says engineers using them are now 10% more productive each week.
To help everyone get on board, the company started the AI Savvy Google program—offering hands-on training and courses so employees can pick up practical AI skills fast.
One standout tool, Cider (an AI coding assistant), is already being used by half of eligible engineers.
As VP Brian Saluzzo notes, "We feel the urgency to really quickly and urgently get AI into more of the coding workflows."
