This move by Google seems eerily similar to Orwell’s Ministry of Truth in that search results or “answers and facts” will no longer be gathered based on the algorithmic popularity of content, but rather selected by Google.

However, the CIA and the World Bank are organizations with agendas sometimes counter to the truth, and making them the authority on facts gives them tremendous power to shape public knowledge.
Google also explains how it will collect data on you using the Knowledge Graph:
