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
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.
Surprised to find that my 2015 piece on Chicken with Plums remains the only full-length article in the journal ADAPTATION about Marjane Satrapi: doi.org/10.1093/adap...
Amazed to learn the thumbnail I get here w/ that doi link is the Sophia Loren nude from the book. (I've played myself.)
Full preview! Available now in pre-print, set to appear in the journal's next issue 🔖
RIP to Marjane Satrapi, whose work we discuss here and whose oeuvre in film & BD will continue to inspire anyone looking to give the finger to AI ❤️🩹
