Awkward flow at #GoogleForIndia:

- Speaker hails YouTube creators
- Shares that growing no. of people watch healthcare videos
- So, YT is working with Apollo/Max Healthcare/Narayana Health etc. to surface quality content

Creators good.
But for "quality content", go to experts.

Every announcement that Google shared had multiple mentions of AI. The event could well be called 'AI for India'.

As Sundar Pichai once said, AI is as profound an innovation as fire and electricity. #GoogleForIndia

I don't use Mastodon to talk work very often. But if you're interested in learning about the work teams at #Google are doing in and for #India, I suggest you tune in to the 8th edition of #GoogleForIndia tomorrow.
