bā xī巴西diào chá调查Googlerén gōng zhì néng人工智能duì对xīn wén yè新闻业de的yǐng xiǎng影响
The Brazilian government has decided to investigate Google to see whether its AI features could harm the news industry.
This feature directly provides content summaries in search results, and after reading them, users may no longer click on news website links.
As a result, traffic to news sites, advertising revenue, and reader engagement could all decline.
Brazilian officials said Google may have used news companies’ content without first getting permission or providing fair compensation.
The investigation will also compare how ordinary search snippets differ from AI-generated summaries, and will examine how much Google earns from digital advertising versus how much news organizations spend producing reports.
Many news organizations support the investigation, saying it is important for protecting high-quality journalism.
Google responded that its products help more websites get discovered and send many clicks to websites every day.
Now, Brazil will continue investigating Google’s practices and what impact they really have on journalism.
