A group of almost 300 French newspapers has filed a complaint with the country’s competition authority,
saying that Google’s new AI Overviews, AI-generated summaries of search results, will erode traffic to their own
websites. Google launched the feature in France in late July. “The editors are not seeking to halt
innovation,” the APIG association said in a statement.“They are asking for this value to be shared, and for compensation of the use of
their content.”
