Dec. 9 (UPI) -- The European Commission launched an investigation Tuesday into Google on allegations of antitrust practices for using websites in its artificial intelligence to the detriment of competitors.
The commission said in a press release that it's investigating whether the tech giant had breached European Union competition rules by using web and video content for AI without compensation to web publishers or giving them the chance to opt out.
Google may have used the content of web publishers to create its AI Mode summaries on search pages without compensation, the release said.
It's also looking into whether YouTube, owned by Google, used creators' videos to train generative AI models without paying for the content or allowing creators to refuse.
