French regulator fines Google $270M for using news content to train its AI.
The Competition Authority accused Google of violating its earlier commitments to the regulator by failing to let news publishers opt out of being used to train its Bard AI model (now Gemini). In a blog post translated from French, Google said it “compromised because it is time to turn the page.”
In the US, AI companies like OpenAI have faced lawsuits from authors and news publishers including The New York Times for allegedly using copyrighted works to train their models.
