Dozens of students walked out during Stanford University’s graduation ceremony as Google CEO Sundar Pichai delivered the commencement address. The protest highlighted concerns over Google’s work with government agencies, with some demonstrators carrying signs criticizing the company’s use of artificial intelligence and its broader business relationships. Others expressed support for Palestinian causes and opposition to Google's reported ties to Israel. Despite expectations that AI would be a major focus, Pichai largely avoided the topic and briefly joked about the possibility of protests. The incident reflects growing activism and debate surrounding technology companies on university campuses.
