A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for false claims in its AI-generated search overviews.

Unfortunately, the regional court is the lowest court stage. This will climb up until highest German court and after this to the EU court, I expect to see.

Being then a „Grundsatzurteil“ that is leading all courts in Germany. Our legal system isn’t case driven.

No. Landgericht is the second stage already.
