Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers
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.

AI overviews are ~very~ ~bad~ for legit and non-predatory information sources. AI overviews are often wrong or simplistic, but Google displays them prominently and distracts people from clicking through on websites with more reliable answers, websites that need the traffic to survive.
