AI “concentrates power; it obfuscates accountability; it further despoils nature and climate; it is a means of the wholesale expropriation of cultures, languages and lands for massive profit; and it will probably make us lonelier and stupider.” 🔥 www.ft.com/content/bdb3...

A court in Munich declared that Google is liable for their "AI summaries" and all its hallucinations. This brings "AI" slop in line with all other products: "AI" is basically the only product where a provider can deliver unchecked garbage and put all liability on the consumer.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers the-decoder.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Munich's Regional Court declared Google's AI Overviews its own speech, rejecting traditional search-engine hosting liability protections.
  • Google's AI Overviews answered correctly around 91% of queries, but 56% of those correct answers couldn't be verified through the linked sources.
  • Google confirmed it will appeal the ruling, which could set precedent for AI answer engines including ChatGPT and Perplexity across Europe.
