Google announced its scaling back its use of artificial intelligence in its search results after the technology made some serious errors, like telling users to put glue on their pizza and saying that Barack Obama was Muslim. According to The Washington Post, the company started using AI on top of search results for most people in the United States two weeks ago. Google confirmed Thursday that the company was scaling back some of the AI answers.
