What to look forward to: Google CEO Sundar Pichai spoke about the company’s plans to integrate artificial intelligence technologies into search and other products. During this week’s Q4 earnings conference call, Pichai said that very soon, users will be able to directly interact with his latest and most powerful model as a search companion in innovative ways.

Pichai also praised DeepMind, Alphabet’s UK-based AI arm, noting that 1 million scientists around the world have used its database containing all 200 million proteins known to science.
