Google's AI search failure, AI awareness survey and suspension of US students over AI tool

It turns out that AI may not be that intelligent after all, at least not yet.

Google's AI Overviews feature is designed to help users find information faster by summing up web search results, but some of the responses have come under criticism for being "odd, inaccurate or unhelpful".

Why did the system fail and is it going to be an easy fix? Listen to AI consultant Raj Shroff’s take on the issue.

You'll also hear about an international survey which suggests that AI products aren't that well-known to the public despite the hype; and university students in the US getting suspended over an award-winning AI learning tool they designed.
