In the program “60 Minutes” on the American CBS station, the director admitted that he did not fully understand how the artificial intelligence of his corporation generates answers to the questions asked. – There’s an aspect of what everyone in the field calls the “black box.” You don’t fully understand. And you can’t really say why she said that or why she got it wrong,” Sundar Pichai said. “I don’t think we fully understand how the human mind works either,” he added.

The director of the world-famous company also pointed out that AI can cause serious damage through its ability to create disinformation. – With artificial intelligence, it will be easy to create a video in which Scott Pelley (journalist interviewing at CBS – editorial note) says something, or I say something that we never said. And it could look realistic. But on a social scale, it can cause a lot of damage, he stressed.
At its price, society is not ready for rapid advances in technology. However, he noted that people have at least become more vigilant and pay more attention to the potential dangers of artificial intelligence.
