Google Cloud Twins, AI Panic & Jobs Not Getting Vaporized

Meet Thomas Kurian, the self-educated Indian immigrant turned Google Cloud CEO and McKinsey ex-consultant, who assures us AI won't snatch your customer service job — it’s just here to make answering shy customers' weird questions easier. In 2024, after unveiling Google’s AI Customer Engagement Suite, initial fears of mass layoffs fizzled faster than a soda left open. Thomas even has a twin brother, George, CEO of NetApp, probably the only family reunion where everyone’s named CEO. Meanwhile, Google CEO Sundar Pichai boasted a 10% engineer productivity spike thanks to AI, then promised hiring sprees because apparently, robots aren’t good enough to replace human brilliance yet. So relax, AI’s just the workplace plus-one, not the job assassin.
