00:01Prime Minister Modi and distinguished leaders, it's wonderful to be back in India.
00:06Every time I visit, I'm struck by the pace of change, and today is no different.
00:12Back when I was a student, I often took the Coromandel Express train from Chennai up to IAD
00:18Karakpur. To get there, we passed through Vishakapatnam, WISAC. I remember it being a quiet and
00:26modest coastal city, brimming with potential. Now in that same city, Google is establishing a
00:33full-stack AI hub, part of our $15 billion infrastructure investment in India, and a new
00:39international subsea cable gateway, bringing jobs and cutting-edge AI to people and businesses
00:45across India. Sitting on that train, I never imagined WISAC becoming a global AI hub, just
00:52as I couldn't have imagined that one day I'd be spending time with teams figuring out how to put
00:57data centers into space, or taking my parents for a fully autonomous car ride in San Francisco.
01:05Seeing a Waymo right through my 83-year-old dad's eyes, I saw the progress in a whole new light.
01:11Of course, he said he'd be more impressed if it worked on India's busy roads, still working on
01:17that one day. The progress shows what's possible when humanity dreams big, and no technology has me
01:26dreaming bigger than AI.
