Overview
- Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai told the BBC that generative models are prone to errors and should be used alongside other tools rather than trusted outright.
- Pichai said the AI investment boom includes elements of irrationality and cautioned that a market correction would affect every firm, including Google.
- He argued Google’s ownership of a “full stack” of technologies—from chips to YouTube data to frontier models—positions it to better handle turbulence.
- Google has integrated Gemini into Search via an “AI Mode,” and reports say the consumer launch of Gemini 3.0 is expected soon, though no date has been announced.
- Pichai highlighted major UK commitments, including a £5 billion investment and plans to train models in Britain, while noting AI’s energy demands and likely job transitions.
