Deep Flow TechFlow news, December 9, the European Commission announced on Tuesday that it has launched an antitrust investigation into Google to assess whether its use of online publishers’ and YouTube content for artificial intelligence-related purposes violates EU competition rules. The statement said: “The investigation will focus on whether Google distorts competition or puts rival AI model developers at a disadvantage by imposing unfair terms on publishers and content creators, or by granting itself privileged access to such content.” The Commission expressed concerns that Google may be using online publishers’ content to generate its AI-driven services on search results pages without providing appropriate compensation or giving publishers the option to refuse authorization. The Commission also voiced concerns that Google may be using content uploaded to YouTube to train its own generative AI models without compensation or without giving creators the right to refuse.
