Don't blindly trust what AI tells you, says Google's Sundar Pichai

Trusting artificial intelligence is never a particularly wise idea. Generally, most users who are accustomed to surfing the Internet (responsibly) are quite used to taking information obtained from online sources with a pinch of salt. However, since AI appears as the first result following any search on a browser such as Google, the average user reads what is shown and returns to their own reality, without checking whether the information obtained is true.

Google's executive producer, Sundar Pichai, recently urged users of the company's products not to trust what AI shares, as it is a tool that is “prone to error”. According to some experts, however, the responsibility for the accuracy of facts should not lie in the hands of users, but rather in the improvement of the company's products.

‘People need to learn to use these tools for what they do well and not blindly trust everything they say.’ According to Pichai, the current state of artificial intelligence technology is generally prone to some errors, which is why it is up to users' common sense to decide whether or not to trust it.
