In August $2015,$ Then CEO Larry Page announced the creation of Alphabet, a parent company that would contain Google, and much more. Read Larry Page's letter here. Then go to the Wikipedia page for Alphabet and make a note of the $12$ divisions of Alphabet.

I have attached the $2022$ Annual Report for Alphabet. Please read the section on "business" $($pp$.5-7)$ and note how they make their money. Based on what you read, why do you think Alphabet decided to move the "Google" portion of its business away from the other elements of their business? What was the business logic behind it$?$

Pick a division of Alphabet which is NOT Google. Discuss the way in which it might be contributing to Alphabet in $2030.$

Should AI be declared a separate division of Alphabet, away from Google? $[$Currently$,$ the corporation's AI is being handled by DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google$].$

Is Google diversifying too much? Will that affect its core business in the long run?
