~1 min read近日,一群出版商和作者联合对谷歌提起了集体诉讼,指控这家科技巨头在训练其 AI 平台 Gemini 时,未经授权使用了他们的版权作品。参与诉讼的包括知名出版商哈切特(Hachette)、赛格(Cengage)、爱思唯尔(Elsevier)等,以及作家斯科特・图罗(Scott Turow)和 S.C.R.I.B.E. 组织。
诉讼文件中指出,谷歌不仅在训练 AI 时使用了这些版权作品,还故意删除或更改了相关的版权信息,以掩盖其 “盗取” 素材的事实。尽管目前针对 AI 公司的版权诉讼层出不穷,但加州的两项初步裁决支持了这些科技公司,认为将版权作品用于 AI 训练在美国版权法下被视为 “合理使用”。然而,Anthropic 公司因侵权被罚款 15 亿美元,创下美国版权法历史上最大赔偿金的记录。
在谷歌的这起案件中,出版商与谷歌之间的关系相对复杂。诉讼指出,出版商与谷歌的长期合作始于 Google Books 项目,目的是让书籍可被搜索,而不是让用户查看整本书籍。谷歌从这些有限的程序中非法复制了作品,并在没有授权的情况下将其用于 AI 训练。
根据起诉书,谷歌内部曾有文件提到,使用版权书籍进行 AI 训练可能会对公司造成 “高度问题”,并可能面临 “数百亿美元” 的罚款。尽管谷歌尚未对此事做出回应,但这起案件无疑将对未来的 AI 训练和版权法律争议产生深远影响。
当前,虽然许多涉及 AI 的版权诉讼仍在审理中,但这一案件的裁决将为法律界提供新的视角和解读。
