Knowledge panels are updated automatically as information changes on the web, but Google also considers changes in two main ways: directly from the entities depicted in the knowledge panel, and from general user feedback. Other images (especially when there is a collection of multiple images) are a preview of Google Images results for the entity and are automatically sourced from across the web.

One source is those individuals that have claimed their knowledge panels and selected a featured image from images available on the web. Images that appear in the knowledge panel can come from several sources. Therefore, some of the information displayed may also come from verified entities who have suggested edits to facts on their own knowledge panels. We also know that entities whose information is included in knowledge panels (like prominent individuals or the creators of a television show) are self-authoritative, and we provide ways for these entities to provide direct feedback.

In some cases, we may work with data partners who provide authoritative data on specific topics like movies or music, and combine that data with information from other open web sources. Knowledge panels are automatically generated, and information that appears in a knowledge panel comes from various sources across the web. They are meant to help you get a quick snapshot of information on a topic based on Google’s understanding of available content on the web. Knowledge panels are information boxes that appear on Google when you search for entities (people, places, organizations, things) that are in the Knowledge Graph. This article includes information about knowledge panels on Google Search and how information that appears in knowledge panels is sourced.
