Now, when you search for something on Google, a short answer summarizing results from reliable sources will appear at the top of that Google search. However, ABC notes concerns that these summaries may prioritize convenience over accuracy. The system pulls from a variety of web sources, including blogs and satirical sites, and has had some early challenges with inaccurate answers that were difficult for users to verify. To address this, Google is limiting how frequently AI Overviews draws its information from these unreliable sources and will begin providing links to the original sources. The potential for AI Overviews to provide users with accurate and reliable health information depends on its ability to adapt to evolving disinformation tactics and improve transparency around information sources https://blog.google/products/search/ai-overviews-update-may-2024/?utm_campaign=KFF-Misinformation-Trust&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9Wvyt0dV6n-wSIc03pXIW6RXgeJbW1gkRcxoNE7-a1P1cNY3Zdz8t45ZEALRw8zKCkgkHg9ZHH6uN59OKgy3pqJKf9AA&_hsmi=315217036&utm_content=315217036&utm_source=hs_email Google makes adjustments to AI Overviews after a rocky rollout The new search feature has delivered 'odd and erroneous' responses, Google said. https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/google-makes-adjustments-ai-overviews-after-rocky-rollout/story?id=110710227&utm_campaign=KFF-Misinformation-Trust&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-88-_7sObRCoFDAVKQHD6klGuBzlCKwl5GOkrO7m5Sn5Lm-EBejHX3EkRTRfTzovQIyy2gPIoWNaZxSv7FlfCMTUhzRfQ&_hsmi=315217036&utm_content=315217036&utm_source=hs_email
