Federal Judge dismisses Chegg and Penske lawsuits over Google AI summaries

Google-parent company Alphabet has secured the dismissal of antitrust lawsuits filed by education technology platform Chegg and entertainment publisher Penske Media Corp, which alleged that the search engine unlawfully repurposed their copyrighted content into AI-generated search summaries that diverted readers away from their websites. According to a report by news agency Reuters, an order issued by US District Judge Amit Mehta of the District of Columbia dismissed both complaints, concluding that the publishers’ claims that Google violated federal antitrust statutes “fail to get out of the starting gate.”
