The European Union has launched an investigation into Google’s use of artificial intelligence to generate summaries displayed above search results. The EU Commission will check if Google used data from websites without giving proper payment to publishers. They are also probing if Google's AI systems used YouTube videos without allowing creators to opt out. Google's AI Mode provides conversational answers with links, similar to competitors like ChatGPT. Publishers worry this reduces website visits, cutting their ad earnings. The Daily Mail said clicks from Google searches dropped by half since AI summaries began. The EU wants to ensure content creators are paid and can choose whether their material trains AI. Ed Newton-Rex from Fairly Trained said, "Google essentially makes it a condition of online publishing that the firm can use your work to build AI that competes with you." The investigation focuses on whether Google profits from AI tools trained on others' online content. The EU stresses AI innovation must respect media diversity and creators' rights. Meanwhile, US lawmakers have criticized the EU’s strict digital rules. Elon Musk’s platform X removed the EU Commission’s ads after a €120 million fine over verification badge rules. This probe highlights growing tensions over tech firms, AI, and content ownership.
