TechFrench newspapers target Google over AI-generated search summaries

A federation representing almost 300 French newspapers said on Tuesday that it had complained to France’s competition authority about Google’s new AI-generated summaries in search results. The group fears the feature could reduce visits to newspaper websites. By presenting information directly on the search page, the summaries may discourage users from clicking through to the publishers’ sites. The complaint reflects concern among French newspapers that Google’s AI feature could erode traffic that supports their online presence.
