Google’s parent company hit important milestones this year as it turned its attention to advances in artificial intelligence. Like other tech companies, it saw growth slow in 2022 and 2023. In January, Alphabet announced it would costs by laying off 12,000 employees—the largest layoff in company history.
- YouTube veteran Neal Mohan succeeded Susan Wojcicki as CEO of the video platform after she stepped down in February 2023. Mohan has pushed improvements to YouTube Shorts to address the platform’s falling ad revenue, which in the first quarter of 2023 registered its third straight quarterly drop.
- In early 2023, Google set its eyes on rivaling ChatGPT with its own chatbot, known as Google Bard. But Bard’s first live demo produced a botched answer. Alphabet’s market value fell $100 billion that day, though the company’s shares subsequently recovered.
- Google announced a slate of A.I. products in May 2023, including A.I.-powered answers on search, designed to fend off a growing challenge from Microsoft’s Bing.
