Google has launched a strategic AI-driven transformation, offering voluntary exit packages to employees unprepared or unwilling to adapt to the shift. Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler detailed the initiative in an internal memo, specifically identifying eligible staff within the Global Business Organisation unit.
Schindler reported a strong start to 2026 but emphasized that the AI landscape is evolving at an electric pace. The decision signals a broad operational overhaul as the company increasingly integrates AI and automation into core job functions.
