He emphasised the importance of creating a responsible AI framework to regulate its use and ensure that it benefits society. Pichai acknowledged the potential of AI to revolutionise industries and create new opportunities, but warned that it could also be used maliciously, such as in cyberattacks or the development of autonomous weapons. Therefore, he suggested that countries may need to sign treaties to regulate the use of AI and prevent it from posing a threat to national security.
