Google's new AI-generated search summaries, which compile content from news sites and blogs, are causing significant concern among publishers. The AI summaries, now available in the US, are reducing site traffic and unsettling publishers like Frank Pine. Many publishing executives worry that this shift poses a substantial threat to their business models, as Google search results can generate more than half of their traffic. In response, publishers are calling for government intervention and considering antitrust laws to halt the implementation of AI Overviews in search results. The New York Times reported that media executives, in interviews, said Google had left them in a vexing position.
