Court holds Google liable for false claims in AI Overviews. Seems significant.
"A regular search engine just points to outside websites. But AI overviews generate 'independent, new, and substantive statements' by evaluating and combining content from various third-party sites" the-decoder
The Punisher sticker we've needed all along
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.
There was once a dream, and that dream was the Internet of Things. A world connected in the sum of human knowledge. You could only whisper it, anything more, and it would vanish. It was so fragile ...
Rapacious #TechBarons took hold, turned it to capital exploitation, surveillance. The dream died.
it should also frighten you that so many of our elites either don't seem to see the danger, or are explicitly going along with it
almost all of our politicians & press are still on this guy's site
