Google to appeal German court ruling assigning liability for AI Overviews false claims BRUSSELS, June 12 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google GOOGL.O will appeal a German court ruling which said that it is directly liable for false claims appearing in AI Overviews, the U.S. tech company said on Friday.
The challenge came after a Munich court on Thursday issued the landmark judgment against Google's AI-generated summaries that appear above traditional search engine results.
"This case focuses on specific and narrow errors, not the foundational way AI Overviews displays web content. We disagree with the ruling and plan to appeal," a Google spokesperson said in an email.
