Google has stepped up to defend users of its AI systems in Google Cloud and Workspace. If these users are accused of violating intellectual property rights, Google will support them. This pledge puts Google alongside companies like Microsoft and Adobe, who have made similar commitments.
Big tech companies like Google are heavily investing in AI. They are rapidly integrating AI into their products. But some writers and artists have raised concerns, saying that the use of their work to train AI systems and the content created by these systems infringe upon their rights.
Google’s approach to this issue is unique. It offers a two-pronged approach to provide protection in both types of claims. However, this protection doesn’t apply if users intentionally use generated content to violate someone else’s rights.
The recent lawsuits about AI primarily target the companies that own the AI systems, like Google, rather than individual users. AI developers argue that the use of data from the internet for training their systems falls under fair use according to U.S. copyright law.
