Google’s products are pervasive, widely trusted, and have enormous influence over human decisions large and small – to the point where their name has become a synonym for the verb “to search.” But the new AI Overview technology – the primary result in its core search function on the web, which users cannot opt out of – may already be causing serious harm in the real world.

In rolling out this new technology, Google seems to have evaded or ignored key fundamental questions of accuracy and responsibility. It’s time to prioritize the public interest over a competition to be first in the AI race – and given Google’s dominance in the search marketplace, they have an extra responsibility to NOT push potentially harmful AI-generated content out to the public as accurate answers to search queries.
