Google's new AI-generated search summaries are causing significant concern among news publishers. The AI summaries, which compile content from various news sites and blogs, have led to a sharp reduction in site traffic for publishers.

Some media executives have called for government intervention, citing antitrust laws, to address the issue. The AI summaries are currently available in the US, and the situation has left publishers scrambling to adapt to the changes.
