GoKawiilEU court adviser says Google's Gemini could infringe publishers' copyright
An advocate general at the EU's top court said Google's Gemini chatbot may breach press publishers' rights when it reproduces recognizable portions of articles or bypasses paywalls to generate answers. The opinion, issued in a case brought by Hungarian site Like Company, found no evidence Google used the publisher's content to train Gemini, and noted that using copyrighted text for AI training is permitted under the EU's text-and-data-mining exception. The Court of Justice of the European Union is expected to rule in coming months, typically following its advisers' guidance.
