Eric Schmidt Walks Back Claim Google Is Behind on AI Because of Remote Work

  • Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, retracted his statement blaming Google's remote work policies for its lag in AI development, expressing regret for his error.
  • Schmidt's initial comments were made during a discussion at Stanford University, where he criticized Google's work-life balance approach in the context of competing with OpenAI.
  • A video of Schmidt's talk, which was posted on YouTube by Stanford Online, has since been set to private at Schmidt's request.
  • Google and OpenAI have similar hybrid work policies, requiring employees to be in the office three days a week since 2022.
  • Schmidt's remarks align with other corporate leaders like Jamie Dimon and Elon Musk, who argue that remote work hampers company efficiency and competitiveness.
