Turkey opens investigation into Google's AI search tools
Published
Turkey's competition authority has announced that it has opened an investigation into Google's AI-powered search tools.
The authority is concerned that these tools may reduce the number of visitors who enter news websites. When a user gets the answer directly on the search results page, they may not open the original link to the news website.
The authority also ordered that news websites be protected during the investigation. The available information did not provide further details about the form this protection will take, or when the investigation is expected to end.
This issue may also matter to news websites in Egypt, because many of them rely on search engines to reach readers. It is important to follow the results of this investigation to understand the impact of artificial intelligence on the work of journalism.
