Google balks at $270M fine after training AI on French news sites’ content
Google agrees to end sketchy negotiations based on flat rates and limited data.
The ADLC agreed that "the question of whether the use of press publications as part of an artificial intelligence service qualifies for protection under related rights regulations has not yet been settled," but noted that "at the very least," Google was required to "inform publishers of the use of their content for their Bard software." Regarding Bard/Gemini, Google said that it "voluntarily introduced a new technical solution called Google-Extended to make it easier for rights holders to opt out of Gemini without impact on their presence in Search." Google said that it agreed to the settlement "because it’s time to move on" and "focus on the larger goal of sustainable approaches to connecting people with quality content and on working constructively with French publishers."
