According to TechCrunch, publishers Hachette, Cengage, Elsevier, and author Scott Turow sued Google in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York yesterday (July 14), alleging the company used copyrighted books without permission to train its Gemini AI models. The complaint stated Google trained Gemini on books supplied through Google Books and titles uploaded to Google Play, despite those programs not authorizing the works for AI training. The plaintiffs also accused Google of altering or removing copyright information to conceal source material. The lawsuit is part of a broader wave of copyright litigation against major AI developers including Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
