Dont blindly trust everything AI tells you, cautions Google boss Sundar Pichai

london: google boss sundar pichai has cautioned users not to “blindly trust” everything artificial intelligence (ai) tells them, even as he warned companies to be prepared for a possible ai investment bubble burst that no one would be immune to.inan interview with the bbc, the indian-american ceo of alphabet - the parent company of google - said ai models are “prone to errors” and urged users to balance them with other tools. pichai said this underscores the importance of a rich information ecosystem rather than relying solely on ai technology.“this is why people also use google search, and we have other products that are more grounded in providing accurate information,” pichai told the bbc.he said that while ai tools are helpful “if you want to creatively write something”, people “have to learn to use these tools for what they're good at, and not blindly trust everything they say”.inmay, google introduced an “ai mode” into its search using its gemini chatbot to provide an expert-like conversational experience.“we take pride in the amount of work we put in to give as accurate information as possible, but the current state-of-the-art ai technology is prone to some errors,” he said.the tech leader reflected that while the growth of ai investment had been an “extraordinary moment”, there was some “irrationality” in the current ai boom.asked whether google would be immune if the ai bubble bursts, pichai said no company would be fully protected. “i think no company is going to be immune, including us,” he said during a wide-ranging interview at google's silicon valley headquarters.“we can look back at the internet right now. there was clearly a lot of excess investment, but none of us would question whether the internet was profound. i expect ai to be the same. so i think it's both rational and there are elements of irrationality through a moment like this,” he said.pichai added that google's unique model of owning its “full stack” of technologies — from chips to youtube data to frontier research — places it in a better position to withstand market turbulence.the company is also expanding its uk footprint, committing 5 billion pounds to infrastructure and research over the next two years.“we are committed to investing in the uk in a pretty significant way,” pichai said.
