German court ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers (the-decoder.com) AI

A German regional court in Munich ruled that Google is directly liable for false statements produced by its AI-generated “Overviews,” treating the summaries as Google’s own content rather than mere search results. The decision followed instances where Google’s AI linked publishers to alleged scams and other wrongdoing without support in the cited sources, and it rejected Google’s argument that users could verify the claims themselves.
