Podcast - Why an Opt-Out remedy from AI Overviews Will Not Restore the Temptation to Surf
I got the chance to appear on the The DMA Agora podcast hosted by Alba Ribera Martínez where we discussed Google's AI Overview feature in Google Search. Among other topics, we covered:
- How AI Overview alters the flow of traffic around the internet.
- The various harms of AI Overview: its distortion of competition for traffic, the lack of choice offered to websites, Google's unfair advantage in AI training, and harm to consumers' choice.
- Why regulators are focusing on publishers' lack of choice, rather than harms to competition.
- What regulators might do about AI Overview.
