Brin says Alphabet is giving “serious thought” to a number of these issues, including how AI will affect employment; the challenges of making unbiased and transparent algorithms; and the fears that this technology will be used to “manipulate people.” Search giant Google regards artificial intelligence (AI) as a double-edged sword, with the technology bringing both gains and disadvantages to society, according to co-founder Sergey Brin's annual Founders’ Letter. He talked up the many benefits of Google's AI, from language translation to diagnosing disease. But he also warned that AI could be used for bad ends.
