I used Google Translate to translate "I see the world" to Latin. Google gave me "I videre mundum." Is this correct? If not, what would be correct and what did Google actually give me?

As usual with Latin, Google gave you nonsense. It's not even wholly in Latin, so translating is pointless.
The simplest valid translation is mundum video. Whether that's the right choice for you depends on the context, but it's a pretty safe bet. You can edit your question to add details about the use context you had in mind.

The word mundus has lots of different meanings, including “ornament”, “clean”, “the cosmos, the universe”. If you are talking about the planet earth it would be less ambiguous to use orbis terrarum, in your case orbem terrarum video.
*Iat the front is not Latin at all, if it is supposed to be a word; the machine seems to be either (a) mistakenly treating it as an untranslated proper name, or possibly (b) mistakenly treating it as the Roman numeral I, i.e., 1 -- for reasons that I'm sure make sense inside a patchy computer model but don't make sense to me. Latin for "I," the speaker (1st person pronoun in nominative singular), is ego, but you usually wouldn't use this pronoun explicitly in a sentence if it is clear from the conjugation of the verb.
