Google tried to overturn a landmark Munich ruling on AI search liability by appealing, then quietly settled. The strategy isn't working. The Aachen Regional Court just applied the exact same reasoning in a new case where Google's AI falsely attributed criminal offenses to a doctor that actually involved someone else. A consistent legal view is forming across German courts, and it treats Google's AI answers as the company's own content.
It is the company’s own content. They are running the LLM and the LLM is just a tool with no responsibility on its own. If the tool is unreliable that is Google’s problem.
Exactly, if they’re presenting false information in response to a query, then the machinery that generated that false information is an implementation detail. Shouldn’t matter who or what wrote it. If Google’s logo is right there, then they are the ones responsible for it.
