Google's AI search results have come under scrutiny as new research highlights significant issues with AI-generated disinformation. According to 404 Media on May 28, even Google's own researchers have identified AI as a primary vector for spreading false information. This concern is echoed by several fact-checking organizations, which report that most image-based disinformation is now AI-generated.
