European Commission opens competition probe into Google's AI content use
The European Commission has opened an investigation into whether Google breached EU competition rules through its use of publishers’ and YouTube creators’ content for AI products. The Commission will examine whether Google imposed unfair terms or gave its AI services privileged access, including for search summaries, without compensation or an opt-out for content providers.
The investigation could affect how gambling affiliates’ content is used in AI search features and whether they receive compensation.
