Google faces another AI training lawsuit from major publishers

A coalition of major publishers and authors has filed a class action lawsuit against Google, alleging unauthorized use of their copyrighted works to train Google's AI platform, Gemini. The plaintiffs claim Google concealed this use by altering copyright information and emphasize their prior agreements with Google were limited to book search functions, not AI training. This lawsuit adds to ongoing legal disputes over AI training data and copyright law interpretations in the U.S.
