"Google AI overviews are misleading or inaccurate in 37% of finance-related searches, according to The College Investor's latest analysis. This is an improvement from last year, where 43% of AI Overviews were inaccurate - but a one-third error rate is troubling when it comes to personal finance.

This is causing consumer confusion, and potentially harming Americans' finances. The overviews were especially bad when it comes to tax, insurance, and financial aid related queries.

What's Happening: Over the last several years, Google has been rolling out AI-driven answers in search results. At the top of the search results they show AI Overviews, and they're now expanding the use of AI Mode. The problem is they are plagued with inaccurate answers. And experts say it's a serious issue."
