Google removes some AI health summaries after results give ‘false or misleading’ information

Google has removed some AI-generated health summaries after an investigation found they provided misleading information. For example, queries about liver function test ranges gave results lacking crucial context about patient variables like age or ethnicity, which could lead to dangerously false reassurance. While Google states it updates AI Overviews when context is lacking and that its clinical team found many instances were accurate, health experts warn that even slightly rephrased queries can still produce risky, oversimplified answers. They stress that interpreting medical tests is complex and AI summaries risk causing harm by omitting essential warnings.
