Google tried to overturn a landmark Munich ruling on AI search liability by appealing, then quietly settled. The strategy isn't working. The Aachen Regional Court just applied the exact same reasoning in a new case where Google's AI falsely attributed criminal offenses to a doctor that actually involved someone else. A consistent legal view is forming across German courts, and it treats Google's AI answers as the company's own content.
Because you start with one to set the example then spin out from there.
It’s very rare and very hard to just blanket regulate something up front before you have examples of failure modes into the problems.
It kind of ties into the whole concept of innocent until proven guilty.
Nothing is allowed to ever create a problem. Then you stifle innovation change and improvement way too hard.
The problem is the lag time from the new thing to the regulation being put into place and all the damage that can be done in that lag time.
It’s why the saying the law lags behind new technologies is a thing.
It’s one of the few things we have to just accept if we want to have progression. We are totally allowed to though b**** moan wine and cry that it takes way too long for the reaction to happen cuz it does.
It’s an excusable for how long that lag time is. Some lag time is unavoidable, but it does not need to be as bad as it is.
