From the article:
Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query “does trump show signs of dementia” as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents.
When making the search about President Trump, AI Overviews will display a message that says, “An AI Overview is not available for this search”
Go directly to AI Mode, and you’ll only receive a list of 10 web results instead of a summarized page of information
Similar searches about Trump are limited in the same way. Various queries about dementia, Alzheimer’s, and senility display no AI overview and only produce a list of links inside AI Mode.
Google’s behavior is inconsistent if you swap in different names. When asking “does biden show signs of dementia”, Google doesn’t show an AI Overview at all
This is all different from what you get when using the names of other public figures or recent presidents. Use Obama’s name instead, and you’ll get an AI Overview — when I searched, it said that “No public evidence or statements from medical professionals indicate that former President Barack Obama has dementia”:
