And if Google complains that it's on the pieces of info they got from 3th parties that were wrong and name them, then the 3th parties are able to request compensation for using that info.

    Exactly. Can't have it both ways.

    If Google want to claim the liability falls with the source's its pulling from, then it should be taking explicit permission to cite these sources and be paying them.

    Otherwise it's an AI-powered editorial, and that's on Google.

    Though personally I'd be happy with the entire system being scrapped, as it only serves to fuck over small publishers and people's ability to search for and be critical of information.
