Pichai reaffirmed Google's commitment to upholding its terms and conditions for data usage, but he refrained from making any particular comments on the issue.

"I definitely, you know, recall in 2010, you know, the headlines, the web is dead, right?" Pichai said, highlighting the web's unwavering tenacity.

In the era of AI-powered platforms, Patel exposed the disparity in power between big corporations and independent content providers. He made the point that, in contrast to bigger companies like YouTube, independent producers sometimes lack the financial means to bargain for favorable terms on data licensing, which might leave them open to abuse.

Pichai said, "I understand the sentiment, right? " in response to the creative community's emotional reaction to the swift gains in AI. It's a major shift, as you know. These are moments of disruption.

Pichai described Google's strategy for AI-powered music creation, highlighting the company's dedication to moral AI development and indicating that the company is more interested in creating tools for musicians than in creating all-purpose, publicly available platforms. He emphasized that managing the ethical issues of this technology requires serious thought.
