A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.
Great, liability is the only way to get them to care. I wonder how long it will take Google to threaten with pulling out of the EU.
Ah yes, my favourite threat.
I can imagine the infants crying, women wailing in the street, and much gnashing of teeth.
