The warning comesโ as Google aggressively integrates AI โinto its โขcore โคproducts, includingโ its โsearch engine, and โคprepares โto launch its next-generation model, Gemini 3.0, though a specific release โdate remains undisclosed. Pichai’sโข comments reflectโ a โgrowing awareness within the tech industry that โthe current enthusiasm for AI may be โoutpacing theโค technology’s actual capabilities and reliability. This caution extends beyond Google, with industry โขleaders โขincreasingly โacknowledging the potential for overvaluation and subsequentโ market downturn.

The implications of a potential “burst” could โimpact investors, techโข companies, โคand the broader economy as the hypeโ surrounding โฃAI โคpotentially givesโ wayโ to a โmore realistic assessment of its capabilities and risks.
