Following a Guardian investigation that found Google’s AI Overview provided misleading information for certain health-related queries, the company appears to have removed the AI Overview for some of those queries. For example, the Guardian initially reported that when users ask, “What is the normal range for a liver blood test?” they are presented with a number that does not take into account factors such as nationality, gender, ethnicity, or age, potentially leading them to believe they are healthy when their results are not. This time, the Guardian said that the AI summary has been removed from the results of “What…

Like a scripted first drive in a playoff game by a good football coach, Wall Street’s start to 2026 went exactly as planned, with a balanced attack and a rhythmic attack that gave the Bulls an early lead. Not only is the S&P 500 up 1.7%, it’s widened as almost every play call demands, with the like-weighted S&P leading by almost twice. Relentless consensus calls for a reacceleration of the real economy this year, driven by an administration hell-bent on tax stimulus and “boosting the economy,” are quickly being reflected in market leadership. Strong performance in banks, transportation stocks, hotels…

Google today announced a new open standard for AI agent-based shopping called Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) at the National Retail Federation (NRF) conference. Developed in collaboration with companies like Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target, and Walmart, this standard allows agents to work on different parts of the customer buying process, including research and post-purchase support. The core idea is that standards facilitate different parts of the process instead of requiring connections with different agents. Google said it can also work with other agent protocols, including Agent Payments Protocol (A2P), Agent2Agent (A2A), and Model Context Protocol (MCP), which Google announced last year.…
