    Another day of “#AI” companies ruining people’s lives. It will come as no surprise to regular readers that I’d like to see him be successful and an enormous punitive award.

    #Google’s “#Overview feature… published that he had been convicted of … the sexual assault of a woman, internet luring involving a child with the intention of sexual assaulting the child, and assault causing bodily harm… listed on the national sex offender registry”

      “As the creator & operator of the #AI overview, Google is also liable for injuries & losses arising from the AI overview’s defective design… knew, or ought to have known, that [it] could return information that was untrue.”

      “If a human spokesperson made these false allegations on Google’s behalf, a significant award of punitive damages would be warranted. Google should not have lesser liability because the defamatory statements were published by software that #Google created & controls.”

      This.

          Another case:

          “A retired journalist was falsely accused of serious crimes by Microsoft Copilot. The AI linked his name to criminal cases he once reported on and published personal details, including his address and phone number.”
