Incident 13161 Report
Google AI-Generated Search Summary Reportedly Falsely Implicated Canadian Musician in Sexual Offenses, Leading to Concert Cancellation

2025-12-19

A Google Search AI-generated summary reportedly falsely stated that Canadian musician Ashley MacIsaac had been convicted of sexual offenses, apparently due to mistaken identity. After a venue reportedly relied on the AI-generated information, a scheduled concert was cancelled. The reported false summary caused reputational and economic harm and left the musician concerned for his personal safety. Google later amended the search results after the error was identified.
