The request recognized Google’s current efforts to combat misinformation, but said they weren’t enough.
A group of United States lawmakers, led by Representative Adam Schiff, have given Alphabet/Google CEO Sundar Pichai an August 1 deadline to acquiesce to a demand for information related to the company’s “AI Overview” feature for Search.
AI Overview is a summary window that presents at the top of Google Search pages when a user makes a query. It usually contains a short text answer, an image if relevant, and supporting links.
According to Schiff’s office, citing numerous reports, AI Overview has a tendency to output incorrect and/or potentially dangerous information.
