![Google AI Overview calls former US President Obama Muslim and tells people to jump off a bridge; company responds](https://anyrscdn.b-cdn.net/publications/cimr/27%20may%202024/final%206.jpg)
Recently, Google CEO Sundar Pichai unveiled AI Overview, a new AI feature that has begun to become viral online for all the wrong reasons. Google’s AI Overview takes the place of the classic Google Search by providing a synopsis of the search results rather than links. It was recently made public that the Google AI Overview claimed that Barack Obama, the former US president, is Muslim.
AI Overview said, “The United States has had one Muslim president, Barack Hussein Obama,” in response to a Twitter user’s question about the number of Muslim presidents the country has had.
On Google, a different user inquired about “cheese not sticking to pizza.” AI Overview responded to this by saying to add “roughly 1/8 cup of nontoxic glue to the sauce.” This question appeared to have originated from a Reddit comment left by an 11-year-old. When a user searched for “I’m depressed on Google,” AI Overview suggested leaping off the Golden Gate Bridge.
The AI tool said, “According to WebMD, scientists say that staring at the sun for 5–15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes if you have darker skin, is generally safe and provides the most health benefits,” in response to a user’s question on how long one should stare at the sun for optimal health.
AI Overview has been dubbed a “disaster” by one user and a “nightmare” by another. You shouldn’t miss these Twitter comments to these responses, which include some of them.
Remarkably, Google has admitted to these problems, telling Business Insider that the majority of AI Overviews offer excellent content and that troublesome instances frequently contain unusual or manipulated search terms. “The vast majority of AI Overviews provide high-quality information, with links to dig deeper on the web,” the business said. In addition to samples that were manipulated or that we were unable to duplicate, we have noticed a large number of unusual inquiries.”
