  • 13/07/2021

Asserting that many countries are restricting the flow of information and the model is often taken for granted, Google CEO Sundar Pichai warned the free and open internet is under attack in countries around.When asked about whether the Chinese model of the internet based on surveillance is in the ascendant, Pichai said the free and open internet "is being attacked". While he didn't refer to China directly, he said: "None of our major products and services are available in China."

On the controversial issue of tax, he said: 'We are one of the world's largest taxpayers, if you look at on an average over the last decade, we have paid over 20 per cent in taxes.'We do pay the majority of our share of taxes in the US, where we originate and where our products are developed. I think there are good conversations and we support the global OECD conversations figuring out what is the right way to allocate taxes, this is beyond a single company to solve,' he said.Pichai also addressed the controversies around tax, privacy and data. He argued artificial intelligence was more profound than fire, electricity or the internet."I'm an American citizen but India is deeply within me. So it's a big part of who I am,' he said, when asked about his roots.He was also asked about his own personal tech habits and encouraged everyone to adopt 'two-factor authentication' when it comes to passwords to ensure multiple protections and admitted he is constantly changing his phone to test out new technology.Pichai is universally regarded as an exceptionally kind, thoughtful, and caring leader
