Google Now Displays Multiple Entities for Same Individual in Search Results

Shameem Adhikarath identified an issue where an individual appears twice as two different entities in Google Search results. This anomaly was observed when searching for the name [neil patel], which resulted in the same face and information being displayed under two different entities.

The reason Google might display the same person as two different entities in search results is speculated to be due to Google being fed two distinct entities for the same person. This could be based on data from sources like Freebase or other knowledge panel sources.

As of the time the article was written, Google's Search Liaison Danny Sullivan had not yet responded to Shameem Adhikarath's query regarding why Google is displaying two Knowledge Panels for the same person with different occupation titles.
