A group of students walked out of Stanford University’s graduation ceremony while Google CEO Sundar Pichai was delivering his keynote speech. The protest was reportedly organised by activist groups opposing Google’s alleged contracts with the Israeli military and US government agencies. Despite the disruption, Pichai continued his speech and focused on career advice and optimism for graduates. He avoided detailed discussion on artificial intelligence and other technology issues. The incident highlighted ongoing debates on university campuses about the role of major technology companies in government and defence-related projects. Pichai is a Stanford alumnus and Google’s chief executive.
