Penske Media continues Google for the information summaries of the AI ”Presentation” without the consent of the publishers
Penske Media continued Google on its summaries in AI of reports, alleging that the technology giant uses its journalism without consent and, therefore, reducing web traffic to the sites it has, in particular the variety, the display panel and the bearing stone.
The federal trial was filed on Friday in Washington, DC, reported Reuters. Press organizations have sounded the alarm on Google’s “previews” on the “first results” for months, claiming that they are exhausting user clicks directly in their advertising and subscription reports. But the federal trial seems to be the first time that Google belonging to Alphabet has been translated into justice for practice.
Penske says that Google uses the practice by including only publishers in web search results that allow the use of articles in AI summaries. Google would be required to pay the publishers to summarize press items or use them to train its AI systems without this lever, says the trial.
“We are responsible for fighting proactively for the future of the digital media and to preserve its integrity – which are all threatened by the current actions of Google,” said the Penske trial, according to Reuters. He argues that a fifth of Google searches linked to the sites also display “seen” and expect this percentage to increase.
Google replied on Saturday by saying that the previews are the favorite user experience and that they deploy web traffic on a larger range of publishers.
“With AI glimps, people find more useful research and use it more, creating new opportunities for the content to be discovered. We will defend ourselves against these without merit statements,” Google spokesman Jose Castaneda told Reuters.
The trial comes from a rare Google Antitrust victory, in which a judge ruled that Alphabet will not have to sell his Chrome browser to open the research competition. The publishers have criticized the decision, saying that it leaves them without recovery of the AI-Summiers.
After a burst of prosecution, Openai signed several agreements with the main publishers to form the Chatppt, while Google was slower to sign agreements to interface with its Gemini AI.
