- Second German court holds Google liable for its AI search answers
The Aachen Regional Court, in a decision dated September 24, 2026, issued a preliminary injunction barring Google from spreading false statements about a physician through its AI search results, explicitly relying on the reasoning of the Munich Regional Court I. Both courts classified AI-generated text not as links to third-party websites but as Google's own statements, making the company directly liable. The physician was wrongly linked by Google's AI Mode to a sexual assault allegation and a fabricated legal aftermath that actually involved a different former university professor; according to the court, the texts were still live after Google said in mid-September it would take no action. Google can challenge the injunction, which is not final, and faces fines of up to 250,000 euros per violation if it breaches the order.
