⚡️🇩🇪 NEW - A court in Germany has ruled that Google is responsible for false information generated by its AI Overviews feature.
The case involved two publishers wrongly linked to scams and suspicious business activities, even though those claims were not found in the sources used by the AI.
Google argued that users know AI can make mistakes and should double-check important information.
The court disagreed, saying that if an AI system gives an answer, the company behind it must take responsibility when that answer is false.
