New changes in privacy policy have caused concern. Some privacy advocates have raised concerns that the company is collecting too much data on its users. Others argue that Google’s use of this data gives it an unfair advantage over its competitors.
The Google lawsuit was first reported and announced by CNN “The proposed class action lawsuit against Google, its parent company Alphabet, and its AI subsidiary DeepMind was filed in federal court in California on Tuesday and brought by the Clarkson Law Firm. The company previously filed a similar lawsuit against ChatGPT maker OpenAI last month.”
This lawsuit is just one example of potential copyright concerns arising from AI-generated content. As these tools become more sophisticated, we will likely see more lawsuits alleging copyright infringement.
Artificial Intelligence tools are gaining traction due to their ability to generate written and visual content within seconds, reducing human effort. However, these capabilities come at the cost of losing personal data to these tools.
mentioned Tim Giordano, one of the attorneys at Clarkson “Google needs to understand that ‘publicly available’ has never meant free to use for any purpose.”
“Our personal information and data is our property, it has value and no one has the right to take and use it for any purpose,” he added.
According to CNN, the lawsuit is seeking “temporarily freezes commercial access and commercial development of Google’s synthetic AI tools like Bard.”
It continues to seek payments from the company as compensation to those whose data was used by Google without any permission.
Google’s general counsel Halimah DeLaine Prado told CNN that the lawsuit is “baseless.” She added, “For years, we have been clear that we use data from public sources — such as information published on the open web and public datasets — to train our models The AI behind services like Google Translate, responsibly and in accordance with our AI Principles”
In short, the lawsuit against Google sheds light on the complex challenges associated with AI technology. It serves as a reminder that even the most influential tech companies must be held accountable for the impact of their innovations.
