Google Seeks Dismissal of Artist Copyright Lawsuit Over AI Model Training

In a recent legal maneuver, Google has petitioned a California federal judge to dismiss a consolidated class action initiated by visual artists and authors. The plaintiffs in this case allege that Google has violated their copyrights during the training of its artificial intelligence models. A critical point in Google’s defense is the purported lack of specificity in the complaint, which does not pinpoint the copyrighted works allegedly infringed upon.
