Google AI Copyright Training Lawsuit
On 14 July, TechCrunch AI reported that Google faced another lawsuit over its AI training. Hachette, Cengage, Elsevier, and other publishers allege that Google trained its AI systems on copyrighted works without the necessary permissions. Search Engine Journal’s Matt G. Southern described the case as a class action concerning books allegedly used to train Gemini. The dispute currently rests on the publishers’ allegations.
Assuming the reports are factual, impact is 0%. Google and the publishers now have a legal dispute. The reporting identifies no immediate change to Gemini, Google’s training practices, or access to the works at issue.
Watch for court filings, Google’s response, and evidence showing which books entered Gemini’s training data and under what permissions. Any ruling on the class-action claims or Google’s use of the works would change the picture.
