Oct 17 (Reuters) – Google (GOOGL.O) has asked a California federal court to dismiss a proposed class action lawsuit that claims the company’s scraping of data to train generative artificial-intelligence systems violates millions of people’s privacy and property rights.
Google told the court on Monday that the use of public data is necessary to train systems like its chatbot Bard. It said the lawsuit would « take a sledgehammer not just to Google’s services but to the very idea of generative AI. »
