Whoa! This could become a BIG deal .....

German court ruled Google Is liable for false statements generated by AI overviews presented in AI powered search results.

The ruling indicates that when an AI generates new statements that do not appear directly in its original sources, the company that designs, trains, operates, and manages the system must assume legal liability for any damages caused by those statements.

Further the Court held, correcting misinformation is not the responsibility of third parties. Google is the only entity with the ability to modify the technology underpinning its AI-generated summaries and, therefore, “must be held accountable.”
