Crackles when you bite it. Shows the baker did the work.
Summary
A German court issued a preliminary ruling holding Google liable for false statements made by its AI Overviews feature. The case involves two publishers whose reputations were damaged when Google's AI incorrectly linked them to scams and dubious business practices. The ruling could have significant implications for AI search engines and chatbots that poorly paraphrase or misattribute source links, potentially affecting the entire AI search industry.
