>Google can challenge the court’s ruling. As of writing, Google hasn’t decided whether it will appeal the verdict.
This article is out of date because Google has decided to appeal in the meantime.
This verdict is not legally effective yet. And it may never be. On the high seas and in a German courtroom, the people say, you're in God's hand. The next higher court can send this back to the lower court or could overrule it all together. And if they don't do any of that, Google can go to the next higher court. Every appeal will add anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to the timeline. By the time this gets a final ruling Skynet may have killed us all.
A Canadian singer/songwriter could surely do something with an article talking shit about so-called AI having a so-called AI bullet point summary at the top. Don't you think?

But how high does the court hierarchy go? City court, county court, state (Bundesland) court, national (supreme?) court? ECHR seems like it's off the table. AFAIK in every place parties to a suit can escalate appeals through all levels. Google (ab)using this power isn't all that nice for plaintiffs, but it *is* a cornerstone of an impartial justice system.
