AI Search Engines Under Fire for Promoting Discredited Race Science

AI Search Engines Under Fire for Promoting Discredited Race Science
AI-powered search engines from Google, Microsoft, and Perplexity are facing backlash for disseminating debunked race science that suggests white genetic superiority. Researcher Patrik Hermansson uncovered alarming instances where these platforms provided misleading IQ data linked to discredited studies by Richard Lynn. Experts warn that such narratives could incite radicalization, with Lynn's work previously cited by violent extremists. Google has acknowledged the issue, promising improvements to its AI systems, which have shown vulnerability to flawed academic sources. The situation underscores the need for enhanced oversight in both AI and academic research.
