Read full article about: Misleading claims that most web content is now AI-generated are spreading on social media

A study making the rounds on social media claims that more than half of all web content is "created by AI instead of humans." According to the study, a piece of writing is considered "AI-generated" if at least 51 percent of its words are flagged as machine-written by a detector.

But this framing misses two key questions: Why was the text written, and who is actually responsible for it? When a product doesn't work, we don't blame the machine—we hold the people who designed and published it accountable. Most people don't care about the machine itself or who built it.

If anything, the study shows we need a real conversation about what counts as "AI-generated." I'm not linking to the study because it looks like SEO bait. If you're interested, you can find it with a quick search.

Read full article about: Italy’s publishers file a complaint against Google’s AI Overviews over news visibility

Italy's main publishers' group, FIEG (Federazione Italiana Editori Giornali), has filed a complaint with Italy's communications regulator, Agcom, targeting Google's AI Overviews. FIEG argues that these AI summaries appear directly in Google Search results, pushing journalistic content further down the page. The group says this setup violates key rules in the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), limiting the visibility of editorial content and causing revenue losses for publishers.

The European Publishers Association (ENPA) is backing similar complaints elsewhere in Europe. Publishers are pushing for EU-wide action against Google.

Read full article about: Apple's head of AI search Ke Yang joins Meta

Bloomberg reports that Ke Yang, head of Apple's AI search division, is leaving the company to join Meta Platforms. Yang led Apple's "Answers, Knowledge and Information" (AKI) team, which develops features designed to make Siri more like ChatGPT by giving it access to web content.

The AKI group plays a key role in a major Siri update planned for March, part of Apple's push to strengthen its AI offerings. Yang's departure is one of several recent exits from Apple's AI divisions, including members of the "Apple Foundation Models" group and former executives like Robby Walker and Ruoming Pang, who also moved to Meta. After Yang's exit, the AKI team will report to Benoit Dupin, a deputy under Apple's AI chief, John Giannandrea.
