The Turkish Competition Authority announced the initiation of an investigation to determine whether "AI Overview" and "AI Mode" in Google searches violate the country's "Competition Protection Law." It also stated that due to existing indications suggesting that these features are highly likely to engage in exclusive and exploitative practices against news publishers, temporary regulatory measures have been imposed on Google to regulate its use of news publisher content in AI driven searches.
News from the IT Home on November 2nd: The Turkish Competition Authority announced today that it has launched an investigation to determine whether the “AI Overview” and “AI Mode” features in Google's search service violate the country's Competition Protection Law.
This survey covers the following content:
- How do the “AI Overview” and “AI Mode” functions change the way users obtain information? Have these changes had an adverse effect on the traffic of news publishers and other content creators?
- Do the agreements signed with news publishers regarding content usage contain unfair contractual terms?
- Have the “AI Overview” and “AI Mode” functions had an exclusive impact on news publishers, other content creators, and AI chatbots?
- Is there any differential treatment when screening or licensing the content of news publishers as resources under “AI Overview” and “AI Mode”?
The institution also stated that, as current indications suggest that Google's search for AI function is highly suspected of engaging in exclusive and exploitative practices against news publishers, a temporary regulatory measure will be implemented against Google to regulate its use of news publisher content in AI-driven searches.
