Google CEO Cautions Against Blind Trust in AI


(MENAFN) Artificial intelligence systems continue to face challenges regarding factual reliability and should not be fully trusted, warned Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet.

In a conversation with BBC broadcast on Tuesday, Pichai encouraged users to utilize a diverse array of search tools instead of relying exclusively on AI technologies.

AI applications can be useful “if you want to creatively write something,” he noted, but users “have to learn to use these tools for what they’re good at, and not blindly trust everything they say.” He added that “the current state-of-the-art AI technology is prone to some errors.”

This cautionary statement comes as Google readies the release of its next significant AI model, Gemini 3.0.

According to Pichai, the updated AI assistant is slated for launch by the end of this year.

The original Gemini model, introduced in 2023, faced criticism for its limiting ‘safety’ and ‘diversity’ configurations, which led to obvious inaccuracies in image-generation results.

The system was widely mocked for incorrectly depicting historical figures, from America’s founding fathers and Russian emperors to Catholic popes and even Nazi German soldiers.

Earlier this month, Google faced allegations of secretly allowing Gemini to gather user information without consent.

A lawsuit filed in a federal court in California claimed the company enabled the AI assistant to unlawfully access and monitor private communications across Gmail, chat, and video conferencing platforms.
