    EU Independent Publishers Complaint Over Google’s AI Overviews

    • Independent publishers in the EU have filed an antitrust complaint against Google’s AI-powered summaries, AI Overviews.

    • The complaint alleges Google is abusing market dominance, siphoning traffic and revenue from publishers, and threatening independent journalism.

    • AI Overviews, introduced as an experiment in May 2023, are now a core part of Google Search in many regions.

    • The publishers’ main complaints are about content disincentivist due to Google’s AI feature, leading to a drop in traffic, advertising revenue, and subscriber numbers.

    • Google has begun placing ads within AI Overviews since May 2024, directly monetizing content that publishers have invested in.
