The European Union has opened an investigation into Google over its AI-generated summaries that appear above search results. The EU says Google may be using content from websites and YouTube videos without fair payment or clear permission. Publishers and creators fear losing traffic and income as Google’s AI gives answers directly, reducing clicks on their pages. Some creators say they cannot easily opt out of having their work used to train Google’s AI systems. Google says the investigation could slow innovation. The EU says AI should not grow at the cost of creators, media, or democratic values. (PC: Getty Images)
