HYPOCRISY: As Google Makes AI, CEO Advises Pullback on AI Development

Google CEO Sundar Pichai didn’t see the hypocrisy of virtue signaling to CBS News about needing to pull back the reins on artificial intelligence development while his own company is in the midst of a push to generate the same technology to beat its competitors.

Pichai said in a 60 Minutes interview broadcast on Sunday that his AI concern is “the urgency to work and deploy it in a beneficial way, but at the same time it can be very harmful if deployed wrongly.” 

Even Bloomberg conceded that Google itself is a tech leader in implementing AI across services including Google Assistant, Google Photos, and Google Lens. Yet the Google CEO had the audacity to pontificate about how AI can be problematic.
