A group of independent publishers in the EU have lodged an antitrust complaint against Google, targeting the tech giant's AI Overviews that appear at the top of search results.
The publishers claim that Google's AI-generated summaries are taking traffic away from their websites and impacting revenue.
The complaint alleges that Google is using content without permission and diverting attention from original sources.
Google defends its AI Overviews, stating they are beneficial for users and drive traffic to websites, despite concerns from publishers about the impact on original content creators.
