AI gives Google power to 'dictate' the news people see, what they buy, how they vote, attorney claims

Google's monopoly on digital content, paired with artificial intelligence, gives the tech titan nearly unlimited power to influence society, attorney John C. Herman claimed to Fox News Digital.
"From the search results, to the advertisements, to the web pages themselves, Google controls it all," he said. "We now have a single company that dictates what news people see, what products they buy and even how they vote." McDaniel claims the release of Google AI chatbot Bard in February gives the global digital leviathan additional power. "If there is any reason to have antitrust laws in the 21st century, Google is the reason." Google said it is "working with the ecosystem," including news publishers, to get their input and improve the product. Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
He also said, "Adding in an AI component, we now have a single company that dictates what news people see, what products they buy and even how they vote."
