AI will help treat diseases, address famine, and tackle the crisis of drinking water shortages. However, we must regulate it properly, says the head of Google Czech Republic.

František Štrupl, director of Google Czech Republic, discusses the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on online shopping, advertising, and data management. He emphasizes the shift towards AI-driven purchasing, where consumers prefer agents to handle tasks like price monitoring and stock availability. This evolution necessitates that e-commerce platforms adapt their data structures to be AI-friendly. Štrupl also addresses concerns about AI regulation, privacy, and the potential benefits of AI in solving major global challenges. He highlights the importance of responsible AI development and the need for a standardized communication protocol for AI agents in commerce.
