Google on Friday said it is taking ‘swift action’ to improve AI summaries of search results, after users mocked blunders like Barack Obama being the first Muslim US president.
Google users took to social media to lampoon erroneous ‘AI Overview’ responses to queries such as whether people should eat stones or stare into the sun, or how many Muslim US presidents there have been.
‘Many of the examples we’ve seen have been uncommon queries, and we’ve also seen examples that were doctored or that we couldn’t reproduce,’ a Google spokesperson said in response to an AFP inquiry.Â
