Sundar Pichai, the head of Google's parent company Alphabet, has said that every company will be affected if the AI (artificial intelligence) 'bubble' bursts. He made the remarks during an interview with the BBC.
In an interview with BBC News, Sundar Pichai said that the surge in investment in artificial intelligence is "extraordinary", but the current situation is unnatural.
The recent surge in the value of AI technology companies in Silicon Valley and beyond, and the companies investing heavily in the growing industry, has raised fears of a "bubble" in the market.
When asked by the BBC whether Google would be immune if the AI bubble burst, Pichai said that the tech giant could weather the potential downturn, but he issued a warning. "I don't think any company, including us, will be immune," he said.
He also spoke about energy needs, slowing climate targets, investing in the UK, the accuracy of his AI models and the impact of the AI revolution on jobs.
