Judges in Bavaria drew a distinction between standard search engine results and AI-generated summaries. They ruled that tech giants themselves are responsible for the content of answers provided by AI.

Original Reddit post

Taken from the article for the tldr types: “Judges at the Munich Regional Court I were asked to rule on lawsuits filed against the internet giant by two Munich-based publishing companies. Google’s overview feature had erroneously linked the companies to dubious business practices, subscription traps and fraudulent schemes. It had ​​linked the plaintiffs with information about other, genuinely shady companies and invented connections that did not exist. Google had argued that it was not responsible for the data processing itself and did not adopt the third-party content featured in the overview as its own.” Now if on top of this, that musician in Canada wins his defamation case after google’s AI overview falsely mentioned he was a convicted child molester. we could actually start regulating this sector submitted by /u/naamingebruik
