Google CEO Sundar Pichai urges caution on AI use, flags 'bubble' concerns

Don't blindly trust AI

Google chief executive officer Sundar Pichai has warned users not to “blindly trust” everything artificial intelligence tells them, adding that the current surge in AI investment could lead to a bubble burst that would affect every company.
Google added an AI Mode to its search engine in May, powered by its Gemini chatbot, to offer a more conversational, expert-style experience.

Is there a risk of an AI investment bubble?

Referring to the massive flow of investment into AI, Pichai said the current period has been remarkable but also has “irrationality”, similar to the dotcom boom-and-bust that ultimately proved to be transformative.

“I think no company is going to be immune, including us,” he said in the interview, which was conducted at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California.
