Google’s message to employees on AI errors: We need you to …
Google is putting more artificial intelligence (AI) into its products, but the company knows that this might lead to some mistakes. Even so, it seems that Google wants to keep moving forward with new ideas. In a recent all-hands meeting, Liz Reid, Google's newly appointed vice president of search, addressed this delicate balance, urging employees to continue taking risks while acknowledging the potential for errors, according to audio obtained by CNBC.
Reid acknowledged that errors are bound to occur as AI becomes more prevalent in Google's search and other products. However, she encouraged employees to continue taking risks and pushing out new features, suggesting that the company can address issues as they are discovered by users and staff. "We should take [risks] thoughtfully. We should act with urgency. When we find new problems, we should do the extensive testing but we won't always find everything," she said at the meeting, as per a CNBC report.
"It is important that we don't hold back features just because there might be occasional problems, but more as we find the problems, we address them," Reid said at the meeting, as reported by CNBC. Read the full story here
