The Guardian’s investigation showed that AI Overviews could present reference ranges that might falsely reassure users about their health. In some cases, users could be led to believe test results were normal when they were not, simply because the AI summary lacked clinical nuance.

While Google said internal clinicians reviewed the highlighted queries and found the information was often supported by reputable sources, critics argue that accuracy alone isn’t enough. In healthcare, missing context can be just as dangerous as incorrect facts — especially when users rely on AI summaries instead of professional advice.
