Google pledges to defend its generative AI users against intellectual property violations

Google has pledged to protect users of its generative artificial intelligence systems on Google Cloud and Workspace platforms against accusations of intellectual property violations. Tech giants like Microsoft and Adobe have made similar commitments in the past.  

 

Generative AI has been a significant area of investment for Google in the past one year.  While these AI systems are trained using various works from writers, illustrators, and other copyright owners, this practice has however sparked several lawsuits. Claimants argue that their rights are violated both by the use of their work for training the AI and by the content generated by these systems.  

 

This new announcement by Google will let users rest easy. However, there are some conditions that need to be fulfilled to get Google's backing on copyright issues. 

 

The company clarified that this protection would not apply if users intentionally create or use generated output to infringe others’ rights. The recent surge in lawsuits over generative AI has primarily targeted the companies owning these systems, including Google, rather than individual end users. 

 

According to a report, Google’s spokesperson stated that the company is the first in the industry to offer a comprehensive indemnity approach that covers both types of claims. This new policy applies to software like its Vertex AI development platform and Duet AI system, which generate text and images in Google Workspace and Cloud programs.

 

 However, the press release did not mention Google’s popular generative AI chatbot program, Bard.
