At the Google I/O showcase, Google introduced AI Mode in Search, which changes the way users interact with search results, offering chatbot-style information. The News/Media Alliance condemned this as a form of theft, arguing it deprives publishers of traffic and revenue by providing information without directing users to their original content. Leader Danielle Coffey highlighted the significant impact this has on publishers' livelihoods, emphasizing the need for legal action to ensure fair compensation for content. This situation reflects ongoing tensions between tech giants and media organizations over copyright and revenue sharing in the age of AI.
Links were the last redeeming quality of search that gave publishers traffic and revenue. Now Google just takes content by force and uses it with no return, the definition of theft. The DOJ remedies must address this to prevent continued domination of the internet by one company.
Stealing is un-American. Tell Washington to make Big Tech pay for the content it takes.
