Google, Gemini의 저작권 침해로 주요 출판사 소송 직면
Hachette, Elsevier 등 출판사들이 Google이 허가 없이 저작권이 있는 책으로 Gemini를 학습시킨 것에 대해 소송을 제기했습니다. 이 소송은 기존에 캘리포니아 법원에서 AI 학습을 보호해 온 공정 사용(fair use) 방어 논리에 정면으로 도전합니다.
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'.
