Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president at Google and head of Google Search, told the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag: “The kind of artificial intelligence we’re talking about now can sometimes be leads to what we call a hallucination.”
“This then manifests itself in such a way that a machine gives a convincing but completely fabricated answer,” Raghavan said in comments published in German. One of the fundamental tasks, he added, is to keep this to a minimum.

Alphabet Inc introduced Bard, its own chatbot, earlier this week, but the software shared incorrect information in a promotional video in a flash that cost the company $100 billion in market value. school on Wednesday.
Alphabet, which is still conducting user testing on Bard, has yet to say when the app might go public.
