By March 31, 2024, Larry Page and Sergey Brin will return to operational leadership at Google/Alphabet as co‑CEOs and will personally lead a major public demo event (e.g., Google I/O) showcasing Google’s AI products.
within next year. Larry and Sergey take the title of co-CEOs, and then they do a demo day where the two of them get on stage and they actually do the demos of these products.View on YouTube
Explanation
Evidence shows that by March 31, 2024, neither Larry Page nor Sergey Brin had returned to operational leadership of Google/Alphabet as co‑CEOs, nor had they jointly led a major public AI demo event.
Leadership roles
- Alphabet’s key-people listings and corporate history consistently name Sundar Pichai as CEO of both Google and Alphabet through 2024–2025, with no indication that Page or Brin reassumed any CEO title or that a co‑CEO structure was created.(en.wikipedia.org)
- Biographical entries for Page and Brin note that they stepped down from executive roles in December 2019 and remained only as board members/employees and controlling shareholders, with no later update indicating a return to CEO positions.(en.wikipedia.org)
- Updated profiles of Pichai (including non-English editions) still describe him as the current CEO of Google and Alphabet, reinforcing that no leadership handover back to the founders occurred in 2023–2024.(pt.wikipedia.org)
Brin’s return to AI work (but not as co‑CEO)
- Sergey Brin did return to work on AI at Google around 2023 and became heavily involved in the Gemini program, but reports describe this as a hands‑on technical or advisory role, not an executive CEO position.(techtimes.com)
Public demo events
- Google I/O 2024, the flagship public developer/AI event in that window, had its keynote led by CEO Sundar Pichai; announcements and coverage identify him (and other executives) as the speakers, not Page and Brin as co‑CEOs doing live product demos.(blog.google)
- Brin was present at I/O 2024 and interacted with Project Astra demos and press, but coverage characterizes this as a surprise appearance/Q&A and as him checking out demos—not as a co‑CEO headlining a “demo day,” and there is no indication Larry Page shared the stage in such a role.(indianexpress.com)
Given that (1) no co‑CEO titles for Page and Brin were created, (2) Sundar Pichai remained sole CEO of Google/Alphabet, and (3) there was no major public AI demo event jointly led on stage by Page and Brin in that period, the prediction did not come true.
