Two German courts, in Munich and Aachen, have ruled that Google is liable for false statements made by its AI Overviews and AI Mode, treating the AI's output as Google's own words.

Why now: The rulings set a precedent that tech companies are legally responsible for inaccurate AI-generated content.
