Google CEO Says ‘2025 Will Be Critical’ for the Company

Google is facing a host of issues, leading Alphabet and Google CEO Sunday Pichai to say he thinks “2025 will be critical.”

Google is currently dealing with the fallout from its court loss in the antitrust case the DOJ brought against the company, in which the court decided Google is an illegal search monopolist. The DOJ is pursuing aggressive remedies, including forcing Google to sell Chrome, restrict its ability to engage in search deals, prohibit it from collaborating or investing in AI firms, and possibly force the company to divest itself of Android as well. In addition to its antitrust loss, Google is facing court cases and regulatory pressure on any number of issues.

According to CNBC, Pichai address the company’s issues in a meeting with employees last week, saying “the stakes are high.”

“I think 2025 will be critical,” Pichai said. “I think it’s really important we internalize the urgency of this moment, and need to move faster as a company. The stakes are high. These are disruptive moments. In 2025, we need to be relentlessly focused on unlocking the benefits of this technology and solve real user problems.”

“It’s not lost on me that we are facing scrutiny across the world,” Pichai added. “It comes with our size and success. It’s part of a broader trend where tech is now impacting society at scale. So more than ever, through this moment, we have to make sure we don’t get distracted.”

Google has promised to appeal its antitrust loss, filing its counterproposal and calling out the DOJ for what it says is “interventionist agenda.”

If Pichai’s statement is any indication, it seems Google is gearing up for 2025 to be the year it fights for its life on multiple front.
