Google tried to overturn a landmark Munich ruling on AI search liability by appealing, then quietly settled. The strategy isn't working. The Aachen Regional Court just applied the exact same reasoning in a new case where Google's AI falsely attributed criminal offenses to a doctor that actually involved someone else. A consistent legal view is forming across German courts, and it treats Google's AI answers as the company's own content.

    Just the right consequence. Your system with your programming produces output that you are fully responsible for.

    As it should. If it’s a product, then it’s Google’s faulty product. If they try to pull some shit that AI has agency, personhood or is a legal individual then they should slap google on the account of the applicable slave labor law.

    It is the company’s own content. They are running the LLM and the LLM is just a tool with no responsibility on its own. If the tool is unreliable that is Google’s problem.
