Tech giant Google has been accused of a lawsuit focused on its artificial intelligence technology. The company made headlines when it updated its privacy policy to allow it to scrape all publicly available data on the Internet.
This policy change gave Google the ability to train its artificial intelligence (AI) models with all publicly available information.

The new changes to the privacy policy have already raised concerns. Some privacy advocates have expressed concern that the company is collecting too much data on its users. Others have argued that Google’s use of this data gives it an unfair advantage over its competitors.
The lawsuit against Google was first reported by CNN and claimed “The proposed class action lawsuit against Google, its parent company Alphabet, and Google’s artificial intelligence subsidiary DeepMind was filed in federal court in California on Tuesday and was brought by Clarkson Law Firm. The company previously filed a similar lawsuit against OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, last month.”
This lawsuit is just one example of the potential copyright issues that arise from AI-generated content. As these tools become more sophisticated, we are likely to see more copyright infringement lawsuits.
Artificial intelligence tools are gaining traction for their capabilities to generate written content and images in seconds, reducing human effort. But these capabilities come at the expense of losing personal data due to these tools.
Tim Giordano, one of Clarkson’s attorneys, mentioned “Google needs to understand that ‘publicly available’ has never meant that it is free to use for any purpose.”
“Our personal information and data are our property, they are valuable and no one has the right to take and use them for any purpose,” he added.
According to CNN, the lawsuit seeks “temporary freeze on commercial access and commercial development of Google’s generative AI tools like Bard.”
Additionally, it requests payments from the company as compensation to those whose data was used by Google without any permission.
Google General Counsel Halimah DeLaine Prado told CNN that the lawsuit is “baseless.” She further added, “We have been clear for years that we use data from public sources, such as information published on the open web and public data sets, to train the AI models behind services like Google Translate, responsibly and in line with our AI Principles “.
To conclude, the lawsuit against Google sheds light on the complex challenges associated with artificial intelligence technology. It serves as a reminder that even the most influential technology companies must be held accountable for the impact of their innovations.
