Oops! CEO Sundar Pichai had to remind Congressman that Google doesn’t make iPhonesDec 12 (AZINS) Google's Indian-American CEO Sunder Pichai on Tuesday denied the allegations of his company having any political bias, saying the internet giant's algorithms have no such sentiments. While answering som edifficult questions At the House Judiciary Committee, a question from Iowa Congressman Steve King's got Pichai off-guard.

King said that his seven-year-old granddaughter was playing a game on her iphone before an election and was shown a picture of the congressman that included some problematic language.

"I'm not going to say into the record what kind of language was used around that picture of her grandfather," he said.

Then, holding up his Apple device, King asked Pichai, "How does that show up on a seven year-olds-iPhone who's playing a kids game."

To which Pichai patiently informed him, "Congressman, iPhone is made by a different company."

The Democratic staff table erupted in laughter at Pichai's reply, according to Business Insider's Joe Perticone who attended Tuesday's hearing.

Pichai, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee Hearing on 'Transparency & Accountability: Examining Google and its Data Collection, Use, and Filtering Practices', said some of the Googlers are former servicemen and women who have risked much in defence of the country.

Some are civil libertarians who fiercely defend freedom of expression, he told lawmakers during a Congressional hearing.

"I lead this company without political bias and work to ensure that our products continue to operate that way. To do otherwise would go against our core principles and our business interests," Pichai said.

"We are a company that provides platforms for diverse perspectives and opinions, and we have no shortage of them among our own employees."

"Some are parents who worry about the role technology plays in our households. Some, like me, are immigrants to this country, profoundly grateful for the freedom and opportunities it offers. Some of us are many of these things," Pichai said.

Recollecting his days of growing up in India, Pichai said he has distinct memories of when his family got its first phone and their first television.
