Google CEO Sundar Pichai has issued a warning to users and companies regarding the reliability of artificial intelligence (AI) and the possibility of an AI investment bubble burst. Speaking with the BBC, Pichai underscored that AI models can make errors and advised users to employ them in conjunction with other tools.

Pichai stressed the necessity of a balanced information ecosystem for accurate insights beyond AI technology. Highlighting Google's commitment to accuracy, he acknowledged the limitations of current AI capabilities, urging users to remain cautious and discerning when relying on AI-driven assistance.

The tech leader noted the potential perils of the AI boom, drawing parallels with the early internet era where irrational investments occurred.
