谷歌(Google)首席执行官桑达尔•皮查伊(Sundar Pichai)为了加快其人工智能产品的开发和推出，对公司的高层和架构进行了重组。此前，谷歌因落后于微软(Microsoft)等竞争对手而受到了批评。
Google chief executive Sundar Pichai has shaken up the tech giant’s top ranks and structure to speed up its development and rollout of artificial intelligence products, after facing criticism for falling behind rivals such as Microsoft. 6park.com
6park.comAll teams working on its AI models, including its flagship Gemini chatbot, will be unified under its DeepMind division run by Demis Hassabis, according to a memo on Thursday. This will include research, models, computing power and those responsible for overseeing their accuracy and trustworthiness. 6park.com根据周四的备忘录，所有负责AI模型的团队，包括旗舰聊天机器人Gemini，都将统一到由德米斯•哈萨比斯(Demis Hassabis)领导的DeepMind部门。这将包括研究、模型、计算能力以及负责监督其准确性和可信度的人员。
6park.comA new platform and devices team run by Rick Osterloh, senior vice-president of devices and services, will encompass those working on the hardware and software behind Android, the Chrome browser, search and photos. Hiroshi Lockheimer, head of Android, will be moved to work on other products and is replaced by Sameer Samat, vice-president of product management for Android and Google Play. 6park.com由设备和服务高级副总裁里克•奥斯特罗(Rick Osterloh)领导的新平台和设备团队，将包括负责Android、Chrome浏览器、搜索和照片背后的硬件和软件的工作人员。Android主管洛克海默(Hiroshi Lockheimer)将被调任其他产品，由负责Android和谷歌Play产品管理的副总裁萨米尔•萨马特(Sameer Samat)接替。
6park.com“These changes continue the work we’ve done over the past year to simplify our structure and improve velocity and execution,” Pichai said. “It will help us turbocharge the Android and Chrome ecosystems, bring the best innovations to partners faster . . . and internally, it will also speed up decision making.” 6park.com“这些变化是我们过去一年来努力简化结构、提高效率和执行力的延续，”皮查伊说。“这将有助于我们加速Android和Chrome生态系统的发展，更快地将最佳创新带给合作伙伴……同时，这也将加快我们的决策速度。” 6park.com 6park.comThe moves are the biggest overhaul in Google parent Alphabet’s structure since the merger of its DeepMind and Google Brain AI units a year ago. It represents a major increase in power for Hassabis, who joined Google when it bought his start-up in 2014, and who now controls much of its AI development and product output. 6park.com这些变动是自谷歌母公司Alphabet一年前将其DeepMind和谷歌大脑(Google Brain)AI部门合并以来，对其结构进行的最大规模的调整。这代表了哈萨比斯权力的重大增加，他在2014年谷歌收购他的创业公司时加入了谷歌，现在他控制着谷歌大部分的AI开发和产品产出。
6park.comGoogle is trying to move on from a setback in February, when it had to pause image generation in Gemini due to a furore over its inaccurate historical depiction of different ethnicities and genders. The embarrassing incident added to the perception that its model was less capable than those released by rivals such as OpenAI’s, Meta and Anthropic. 6park.com谷歌正努力从2月份的挫折中走出，当时因对不同种族和性别的历史描绘不准确，它不得不暂停双子座(Gemini)的图像生成，引发了一场大争议。这个尴尬的事件进一步加深了人们对其模型能力不如OpenAI、Meta和Anthropic等竞争对手的看法。
6park.comPichai has also been criticised for being slower to commercialise generative AI, despite the technology being created in-house by its researchers. Some have blamed this on Google’s fragmented structure, big-company bureaucracy and the lack of a coherent company-wide plan for rolling out generative AI across its range of products and services, the Financial Times has reported. 6park.com尽管生成式AI技术是由谷歌内部研究人员创造的，皮查伊仍因其在商业化该技术方面的进展缓慢而受到批评。据英国《金融时报》报道，一些人认为这是由于谷歌的碎片化结构、大公司的官僚作风，以及缺乏在其各种产品和服务中推广生成式AI的连贯的公司计划。
6park.comIn particular, Microsoft’s $13bn partnership with OpenAI, which has given it access to the much-hyped ChatGPT model, has been a blow to Google and has driven its rival to become the most valuable listed company in the world. Microsoft is now worth more than $3tn compared with Alphabet’s of market cap of slightly less than $2tn. 6park.com尤其是微软与OpenAI的130亿美元合作，使其获得了备受瞩目的ChatGPT模型的使用权，这对谷歌构成了重大打击，并推动微软成为全球市值最高的上市公司。目前，微软的市值已超过3万亿美元，而Alphabet的市值则略低于2万亿美元。
6park.comThe reshuffle comes ahead of Google’s first-quarter earnings on 25 April and its annual I/O developer conference on 14 and 15 May at its headquarters in Mountain View, California. 6park.com这次重组是在谷歌4月25日的第一季度财报公布以及5月14日和15日在其位于加利福尼亚山景城(Mountain View)总部的年度I/O开发者大会之前进行的。
6park.comPichai’s blog on Thursday also addressed an employee protest this week against an AI and cloud contract with the Israeli government and military. Nine workers who occupied a senior executives’ office were arrested and on Wednesday it fired 28 staff allegedly involved in the “No Tech for Apartheid” group. 6park.com皮查伊在周四的博客中也谈到了本周员工对与以色列政府和军方签订的人工智能和云合同的抗议。九名占领高级主管办公室的员工被逮捕，而在周三，公司解雇了28名涉嫌参与“反对科技助长种族隔离”组织的员工。
6park.com“Ultimately we are a workplace and our policies and expectations are clear: this is a business, and not a place to act in a way that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe, to attempt to use the company as a personal platform, or to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics,” Pichai wrote. 6park.com皮查伊写道：“归根结底，我们是一个工作场所，我们的政策和期望是明确的：这是一个企业，而不是一个干扰同事或让他们感到不安全的地方，也不是一个试图将公司作为个人平台，或为了争论有争议的问题或政治而争吵的地方。”
