In a recent memo, Sergey Brin emphasized the importance of returning to the office for Google employees. He encouraged them to come to work in person at least every weekday, citing the need for collaboration and productivity to win the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) race. Brin's memo is not an official policy change, but it reflects the pressure Silicon Valley giants are feeling to compete in the AI space. Google was caught off guard by OpenAI's release of ChatGPT in 2022, but has since worked to catch up with industry-leading AI models. Brin has reportedly returned to Google in recent years to help the company regain its footing in the AI race. The memo also highlights Brin's belief that Google can build AGI, a superintelligent AI system on par with human intelligence, with the right effort and collaboration from its employees.
