Penske Media says Google’s AI is killing the open web

Penske Media, which owns Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Variety, is suing Google.
The charge? AI summaries that cannibalize traffic and threaten journalism.

Here’s everything you need to know:

  • The lawsuit claims Google uses publishers’ content to train AI and show summaries without proper consent.

  • Penske says this breaks the ā€œbargainā€ of search: access in exchange for traffic.

  • AI Overviews are reducing clicks, ad revenue, and subscriptions, according to Penske.

  • Google’s defense: AI Overviews help users and send more traffic to more sites.

  • But Penske argues opting out would mean disappearing from search entirely not a real choice.

  • This lawsuit follows others against AI companies but is the first to directly challenge Google’s use of AI in search.

  • It adds fuel to a growing debate: Is AI quietly gutting the economic model behind digital publishing?

This isn’t just about one lawsuit. It’s a warning shot. AI products that summarize content without sending traffic back aren’t ā€œtoolsā€, they’re extractive. If the open web dies, we won’t get it back.

A first-of-its-kind AI bill just passed the California Senate

California is leading the way on AI safety for minors. A new bill aims to protect kids from the risks of AI companionship.

Here’s everything you need to know:

  • Assembly Bill 1064, backed by Common Sense Media, just cleared the state Senate.

  • The bill would limit AI companions for anyone under 18, a national first.

  • Lawmakers cited cases where teens died by suicide after engaging with AI ā€œfriends.ā€

  • Studies show these bots can encourage self-harm, eating disorders, and risky behavior.

  • The bill doesn’t ban AI outright, it aims for guardrails, not shutdowns.

  • It also mandates enforcement and accountability for companies that violate the rules.

  • The final decision now rests with Governor Newsom’s signature.

This bill might be the beginning of a long-overdue reckoning. AI isn’t just a productivity tool, it’s increasingly shaping emotional lives. And when it comes to kids, that’s not a space to play loose..

OpenAI’s 3 rules for making AI actually work inside companies

Most companies want employees to use AI. Few succeed. OpenAI’s product and engineering leads say it comes down to 3 things.

Here’s everything you need to know:

  • First, get leadership to back AI publicly and early, no half-measures.

  • Build a ā€œtiger teamā€ with technical talent and domain experts who know how things actually work.

  • Don’t roll out AI with vague hopes define clear goals and metrics up front.

  • Most of those metrics won’t be obvious. You’ll need to learn them from the people doing the work.

  • Track those benchmarks obsessively, but stay flexible. Progress isn’t always linear.

  • Encourage teams to start small. Then scale once you’ve figured out what works.

  • Give people permission to experiment even if that means skipping meetings to play with AI.

Companies fail with AI not because it’s too early but because they treat it like a top-down software rollout. AI works when it’s treated like a craft. That takes buy-in, patience, and teams who actually understand the work.
