A group of Democrat Senators has asked the FTC and DOJ to investigate whether new generative AI features such as summarizers on search platforms violate US antitrust laws.
New features like Google’s AI Overviews and Search GPT are objectively useful in providing quick answers to users’ questions, but at what cost? The Senators, led by Senator Amy Klobuchar, say that the ability of generative AI to summarize or regurgitate existing content harms content creators and journalists.
Their letter addressed to the FTC and DOJ says, “Recently, multiple dominant online platforms have introduced new generative AI features that answer user queries by summarizing, or, in some cases, merely regurgitating online content from other sources or platforms. The introduction of these new generative AI features further threatens the ability of journalists and other content creators to earn compensation for their vital work.”
