Google Faces UK Probe on Fairer Search Results

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) plans to consult on making Google search fairer, including giving publishers more control over their content used in AI-generated responses. Foxglove, a complaint group, warns that news organizations are already being harmed in the UK and need immediate action to opt out of Google's AI summaries without being removed from search. This issue has been proposed by other regulators, such as the US Department of Justice and South African Competition Commission. The EU has also filed an antitrust complaint in Brussels, alleging that Google is misusing web content for its AI Overviews, causing significant harm to publishers like news outlets, resulting in traffic, readership, and revenue loss.

ISO and IEEE Propose AGI Safety Frameworks

Global standards organizations ISO and IEEE are proposing early frameworks for AGI safety, but comprehensive oversight mechanisms remain underdeveloped. Companies operating across jurisdictions or deploying powerful AI models must adopt proactive governance strategies through internal audits, industry collaboration, and policy advocacy to mitigate risks. Current AI systems are already transforming industries, such as improving healthcare diagnostics with tools like Google DeepMind's AlphaFold, reducing workplace incidents in construction, and accelerating drug discovery. However, the rise of deepfake technologies has exposed organizations to new forms of fraud and brand risk, with 26% of executives reporting a "deepfake incident" targeting financial data in the past year. The labor market is also undergoing significant changes, with 90% of jobs potentially disrupted by generative AI, according to Cognizant's New Work, New World research.
