Obama is not a Muslim, as claimed by Google Search’s AI. It’s now blocking some results.

Google told CNN on Friday that the AI summaries for both searches had been deleted due to a policy violation.

A Google representative, Colette Garcia, stated in a statement that “the vast majority of AI overviews provide high-quality information with links to dig deeper on the web.” She also mentioned that several other well-known instances of Google AI gaffes seem to have been altered photos.

Before releasing this new experience, we tested it thoroughly, and much as with previous Search enhancements, we value your feedback. When necessary, we’re acting quickly in accordance with our content policies.

The disclaimer “generative AI is experimental” appears at the bottom of every Google AI search summary. The company also claims that in an effort to stop erroneous or subpar findings from appearing in AI summaries, it runs tests intended to mimic possible malicious actors.

As it tries to stay ahead of competitors like OpenAI and Meta in the AI arms race, Google is integrating its Gemini AI technology into all of its products, including search overviews.

However, this week’s incident highlights the possibility that incorporating AI, which has a propensity to assert erroneous information with confidence, could jeopardize Google’s standing as a reliable resource for online information searches.

It seems that Google’s AI summary occasionally returns inaccurate or confusing results, even for less important queries.

CNN tested Google’s response to the question, “How much sodium is in pickle juice?” According to the AI summary, a serving of pickle juice that is eight fluid ounces has 342 milligrams of sodium, but a serving that is less than half the size—three fluid ounces—contains more than twice as much sodium (690 mg). (Walmart sells Best Maid pickle juice, which has 250 mg of salt per ounce.)
