A group of publishers and authors, including Hachette Book Group, Cengage, Elsevier, and Scott Turow, have sued Google for allegedly copying millions of copyrighted works without permission to train its artificial intelligence system, Gemini.
The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, accuses Google of leveraging its business relationships with publishers and improperly using publicly accessible book content from Google Books.
The plaintiffs argued that Gemini’s capability to rapidly generate and compete with human writing is dependent on the unauthorized copying of the plaintiffs’ works.
This case underscores the ongoing legal disputes surrounding the use of copyrighted material in training generative artificial intelligence (AI), a concern that extends to other companies like Meta.
The publishers mentioned previously engaged in similar litigation against Meta over AI misuse and highlighted that copyright laws apply equally to AI companies as they do to traditional businesses.
Google has faced prior copyright-related controversies, such as a warning from Disney over the use of its intellectual property in Google’s AI models without authorization.
The lawsuit reflects broader industry concerns about the ethical use of generative AI in publishing, highlighted by Hachette’s decision to cancel the release of a book allegedly authored using generative AI techniques.
