Eric Schmidt, former CEO and executive chairman at Google, has retracted his previous statement that Google was falling behind in the artificial intelligence race due to its remote-work policies. Schmidt criticized Google's remote-work policies during a discussion at Stanford University, but later admitted his error and regretted his comments. Both Google and OpenAI have implemented similar return-to-office policies since the pandemic, requiring employees to come to the office three days a week. Schmidt's remarks align with other corporate leaders who have expressed concerns about work-from-home policies, claiming they make companies less efficient and competitive.
