EU Court Adviser Says Google AI Chatbot Use of Press Content May Infringe Copyright
An adviser to the European Union's highest court stated that Google's AI chatbot Gemini may infringe copyright rules when it reuses press publications to generate responses, particularly if it bypasses paywalls or replicates the original expression recognizably. However, using copyrighted material to train large language models is allowed under the text and data mining exception. This advisory relates to a legal case by Hungarian website Like Company against Google, with the court yet to issue a binding decision.
