She also urged Google to take more responsibility over its AI products and their accuracy
Not really possible when the technology is built around probability.
It is simply *not* deterministic. The results are based on a roll of the dice. They lack consistency.
Ask the same question in a slightly different way or at different time and get a different answer. And not just different wording but also different meaning.
Would you store food in a refrigerator that might *not* keep it from spoiling? Marketing such a product would create a liability issue --- and I expect the same for AI.
The fact that we're investing $ trillions in such a product will not end well.
It's hard not to trust answers which are superhumanly plausible.
Imagine being offered a choice of two oracles. The first oracle would give you an answer that is inspiring yet mysterious and oblique. The second gives an answer that is guaranteed to be unoriginal but also highly, highly plausible. It also maintains a record of all the questions and makes them available to unknown persons.
Should I know, I mistakenly trusted Google when it told me there was a live music event last Sunday in a local bar, turns out Google's AI got confused because there is another bar with the same name in a different city here in Colombia, so I dressed up and everything just to go to a bar that was closed that day.
> However, some experts say big tech firms such as Google should not be inviting users to fact-check their tools' output, but should focus instead on making their systems more reliable.
That is a very strange thing to say. They both are and should be doing both.

Doesn't matter, a good chunk of people are going to take everything at face value

What? Plenty of humans are competent confabulators.
