EU court adviser: AI chatbots reusing news may break copyright law

An adviser to the EU's top court has stated that AI chatbots may violate EU law if they reuse news content in their responses. This ruling specifically addresses models like Google's Gemini, suggesting that while training AI on copyrighted material is generally permissible, the outputting of that material in answers could infringe on publishers' rights. The distinction highlights a potential legal gray area for generative AI systems that incorporate real-world information into their generated text. AI

IMPACT This ruling could shape how AI models are developed and deployed in Europe, potentially requiring stricter controls on how they utilize and present copyrighted information.
