Google has issued an ultimatum to publishers, demanding they share user data (i.e. allow Google to AI scrape) or face severe consequences, potentially jeopardizing their online visibility and revenue.

The legality of an AI-generated endorsement of Trump featuring Taylor Swift is under scrutiny, with experts debating its compliance with election laws and regulations governing political advertising.
