Chegg, an educational technology company, has filed a lawsuit against Google for unfair competition, alleging that Google's AI-driven search result summaries have negatively affected its traffic and revenue. In its claim submitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Chegg accuses Google of monopolistic practices, such as exerting pressure on companies to provide content necessary for inclusion in Google Search. Chegg seeks compensatory damages and an injunction against what it labels as Google's unlawful practices, an action that echoes similar discontent from other publishers regarding AI's impact on their businesses.
