emily: do you think google would close android? hugo: google would never do that.here is absolutely nothing that would convince larry to do such a thing. emily: larry handed over a lot of control. what is your relationship? hugo: that was an amazing decision. in many ways because he is capable, the most well-rounded executive at google. he is a great product guy. he is a great business guy. it frees up time for larry to think about what should google be 10 years from now, how do we think about artificial intelligence, how does it affect design for future product? it is hard to do both of those things at the same time. emily: you still have a relationship now that you are at xiaomi, do you guys collaborate? hugo: we do. we are an android partner, first and foremost. we try to be in front of the pack when it comes to upgrading the operating system and using all the innovations coming from google. we spend time together every few months or so when i come and visit. emily: would xiaomi build its own operating system? hugo: we wouldn't build our own operating system for

both the internet industry, the googles, the yahoo! and microsofts that it wanted to control, continue to retain their control. but you had the traditional media world, the studios and labels and others, wanting to retain control of distribution. they were attacking us, accusing us of not doing the right things around copyrights, when, in reality, we were building more tools than any of our competitors, and more policies from day one than anyone else to deal with all these problems and actually eventually create solutions for them where they could monetize them. the music industry earns billions of dollars off of youtube on an annual basis now. but with all these people looking at us, and us just struggling to keep things up and running, we had no other choice, really, at the end of the day, to be acquired by someone. for us, we were lucky enough to be acquired by google, who, in my mind, kind of took a chance on us. and that, really, youtube would probably not be here today or what it is today without their support. so i am really tha
