(MENAFN) Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, has cautioned that artificial intelligence remains prone to factual errors and should not be relied on blindly. Speaking in a BBC interview aired Tuesday, Pichai urged users to use a broad range of tools and not depend solely on AI for information.

AI tools, he said, are useful for creative tasks, but “users have to learn to use these tools for what they’re good at, and not blindly trust everything they say.”

Google is preparing to release its next AI model, Gemini 3.0, by the end of the year. The 2023-launched Gemini faced criticism for its restrictive safety and diversity settings, which caused inaccuracies in image-generation outputs, including misrepresentations of historical figures ranging from American founding fathers and Russian emperors to popes and Nazi soldiers.

Earlier this month, Google faced a lawsuit in California alleging that Gemini secretly collected user data without consent, intercepting communications across Gmail, chat, and video-conferencing services.

The rapid growth of AI has sparked huge investment, with major tech companies spending an estimated $400 billion annually. Pichai acknowledged that no company, including Google, would be immune if the AI sector faces a market bubble.
