Google、Geminiの著作権侵害をめぐり大手出版社から訴えられる
hachetteやelsevierを含む出版社らが、許諾なく著作権で保護された書籍をgeminiのトレーニングに使用したとしてgoogleを提訴しました。この訴訟は、これまでカリフォルニア州の法廷でAIトレーニングを守ってきたフェアユースの抗弁に異議を唱えるものです。
a coalition of publishers and authors, including hachette, elsevier, and author scott turow, filed a class action lawsuit against google for allegedly using their copyrighted works to train gemini. the complaint claims google knowingly misused books from its google books and play store programs and removed copyright management information to conceal the training data. unlike previous california rulings that favored ai companies under fair use, this case was filed in new york and cites an internal google document warning of potential liability in the tens of billions. this legal escalation tests the boundaries of fair use for ai training just as google faces a separate lawsuit regarding its 'respectful mode'.
