Google Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit Accusing AI Training Practices, Argues Use of Public Data Needed for AI Innovation

Google asks court to dismiss lawsuit accusing it of misusing user content and personal information to train AI systems like chatbot Bard.

Google argues use of public data is necessary and legal to create generative AI. Says lawsuit would severely limit potential of AI.

Unnamed plaintiffs allege Google scraped data from various sources like social media, Spotify, books without permission to train AI.

One plaintiff claims Google copied her book to train Bard. Google says use was protected fair use.

Google says lawsuit fails to show how plaintiffs' personal info was allegedly collected or how they were harmed.
