May 26, 2024![Google's Gemini AI Sparks Controversy with False Claims; Accuracy of AI-Generated Information Under Scrutiny](https://cdn.brief.news/images/stories/25e445fb6540934b8009a31ba2446c09eaeee86f687fe923e8e91e56382804b3fecc08a1f160e270db1a72055729af7686c40ce9d97f93ea9c14d53af5130154.jpg)
Google's AI search feature, Gemini AI Overview, has sparked controversy due to inaccuracies.
The AI falsely claimed former President Obama is a Muslim and stated no African countries start with the letter 'K'.
Google has removed incorrect responses and is working to improve accuracy.
Concerns remain about the reliability of AI-generated information.
Other AI systems, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, have also produced nonsensical responses, highlighting industry-wide challenges.
Despite criticisms, Google plans to expand AI-generated search answers globally to compete with other AI-powered search engines like Perplexity AI.
The issue underscores the ongoing struggle to ensure accurate AI technology in the digital age.
