Although Penske is the first Google targeting and its mother company Alphabet to show summits created from artificial intelligence in research, both of them Publishers and Authors A lawsuit was filed against other artificial intelligence companies regarding concerns related to relevant copyright.

Since the launch of an artificial intelligence overview last year, Google was He criticized to threaten business models From the same publishers who depend on it to provide the necessary content to create a minute AI summary and answers.

The new lawsuit goes further by accusing Google of continuing “using her monopoly to force PMC to allow Google to re -post PMC content in an artificial intelligence overview” and use this content to train AI’s models.

Google spokesman Jose Castañeda said in a statement that an overview of Amnesty International makes Google’s “more useful” research and create “new contents of content to discover.”

Castañeda said: “Every day, Google sends billions of clicks to the web sites, and sends an overview of Amnesty International traffic to a variety of locations,” said Castañeda. “We will defend these indisputable allegations.”

“As a condition for indexing the publisher’s content for research, Google now requires publishers to provide this content for other uses that arise or anticipate research referrals,” the case claims, adding that the only way to choose Penske is to remove it from Google’s search completely, which will be “destroyed.”
