Google Pulls AI Health Summaries After Scrutiny

[cryptoenthusiast]

Google appears to have removed AI Overviews from certain health-related searches following an investigation by The Guardian. The report found that Google’s AI-generated summaries sometimes provided oversimplified or misleading medical information that failed to account for factors like age, sex, or ethnicity.

In response, AI Overviews no longer appear for queries such as “what is the normal range for liver blood tests,” though related phrasing may still trigger AI-generated content. Google declined to comment on specific removals, saying instead that it focuses on making broader improvements to Search.
