The company, once popular among students, said its “strategic” options could include a sale. Chegg blamed Google’s AI summaries for taking away traffic.

Chegg is only the latest publisher to take issue with Google’s efforts to inject Google Search with AI. A number of news outlets claim they’ve seen an impact on traffic from Google’s AI summaries in search, which draw from sources around the web to answer Google Search user queries.

Online education company Chegg filed a lawsuit on February 24th against Google claiming that the company’s AI-generated summaries of search results have hurt its traffic and revenue, Reuters reports.

Chegg, the education tech company headquartered in Santa Clara, sued Google on Monday and slammed the tech giant for its impacts on Cheg's business.

Chegg is suing Google parent Alphabet over claims the search engine’s artificial intelligence summary tool has hit its revenues, leading the US-listed educational technology group to weigh up a sale of the business.

Alphabet's Google internet search engine is eroding demand for original content and undermining publishers' ability to compete with its artificial intelligence-generated overviews, a U.S. educational technology company said in a lawsuit filed on Monday.

One company is the educational company Chegg, and it’s suing Google over its AI overviews. Most people know this, but here’s a refresher. Last year, Google released AI Overviews. This is a tool that puts AI-generated overviews of what you searched for on top of its search results.
