Google Seeks to Dismiss Lawsuit Accusing It of Scraping Data to Train AI

Google filed a motion to dismiss a class-action lawsuit accusing it of illegally scraping data to train AI models.

Google argued using public internet data is not "stealing" and is needed to develop generative AI like Bard.

The lawsuit claims Google violates privacy and property rights of internet users.

Google said the lawsuit would hamper development of AI if it restricts using public data.

The lawsuit was filed after Google updated policies to allow more data collection for AI training.
