Google CEO Sundar Pichai has warned people against “blindly” trusting artificial intelligence. Pichai stated that the AI engines remain vulnerable in terms of factual accuracy and cannot be fully trusted.

In an interview with the BBC, which aired on Tuesday, Pichai urged users to rely on a broad range of search tools rather than depending solely on artificial intelligence.

AI tools are helpful “if you want to creatively write something,” but users “have to learn to use these tools for what they’re good at, and not blindly trust everything they say,” Pichai said. “The current state-of-the-art AI technology is prone to some errors.”

While Pichai warns that the public should be wary of blind trust in AI, his own company is permitting the use of the technology to create weapons and tools for mass surveillance.

Google Now Permits Artificial Intelligence Use To Create Weapons And Mass Surveillance Tools

That isn’t the only time Google has been in hot water over how it uses AI. Earlier this month, the company was accused of secretly enabling Gemini to collect user data without consent. A lawsuit filed in a California federal court claimed the company allowed the AI assistant to illegally intercept and monitor private communications across Gmail, chat, and video-conferencing services.

Launched in 2023, Gemini received criticism for its restrictive ‘safety’ and ‘diversity’ settings, which produced glaring inaccuracies in its image-generation outputs. The model was widely ridiculed for misrepresenting historical figures ranging from America’s founding fathers and Russian emperors to Catholic popes and even Nazi German soldiers. –RT

Google is also currently preparing to launch its upgraded AI services, Gemini 3.0, slated to be released later this year.
