Google AI summaries: French daily newspapers file complaint with competition authority
Apig, the Alliance of General Information Press, is urging France's competition watchdog to make Google honour the commitments in its 2022 compensation deal with French news groups.
Paris, August 11 - French media organizations have petitioned the country's anti-trust authority to intervene regarding Google's AI-generated article summaries, according to a press trade association. These summaries, the media argue, are causing a loss of traffic for traditional outlets. The request comes following the regulator's recent decision in July to compel Meta to outline a payment strategy and resume negotiations with journalistic entities seeking compensation for utilizing their content on platforms, such as AI tools. As of now, Google has not issued a statement on the matter.
