The Trade Association supporting some of the largest press publishers in the US laughed the newly extended AI Google mode, which trades conventional search results for the AI Chatbot interface. IN Statement on WednesdayNews/Media Alliance said that the novel feature is “devoid” of publishers of both movement and revenues.
During Google We/O on Tuesday, the company announced that it is expanding AI mode to all users in the USA, which appears in the novel card directly in search. When users enter the query, AI mode serves the answer generated by AI with a list of appropriate links.
“The links were the last redemption of the quality of search, which gave publishers movement and revenues,” said Danielle Coffey, general director and President of News/Media Alliance. “Now Google simply takes the content with force and uses it without a return, definition of theft. Crafts must solve this problem to prevent further internet dominance by one company.”
This week, an internal document revealed as part of the Google antitrust process on search dominance showed that the company decided to ask publishers for permission to include their work in AI search functions, As reported Bloomberg. Instead, publishers must completely give up search results if they do not want their work to include AI functions.
The Google Search Liz Reid search engine said during its testimony that permission to give up the reigns of individual functions will add “huge complexity”, according to this Bloomberg. “Saying that the publisher may sound:” I want to be in this function, but not in this function, “it does not work,” said Reid. “Because then we would have to say, each function on the page needs a different model.”
