According to a report by France Presse on the 11th, the “General Press Coalition”, a professional organization representing nearly 300 French media, protested against the “AI Summary” function introduced by Google. The agency has filed a complaint with the French Competition Authority. The media are generally concerned that Google's new service will divert traffic to streaming media websites, which in turn will affect advertising revenue. The cause of the incident was that Google launched an “AI summary” function generated by artificial intelligence in France on July 22. This service uses AI to conversationally summarize search results when users use search engines. Although this function makes it easy for users to quickly know search results, in APIG's view, it instead causes users to stop clicking on website links on search pages. This will obviously affect media website traffic and advertising revenue. APIG quoted an evaluation report from the French Audiovisual and Digital Regulatory Authority as saying that once Google launches the “AI Digest” service in the European market, it may cause 33% to 38% of traffic loss.
