Google ensures legal protection for AI users amid IP concerns
Google Cloud has pledged to deal with potential legal risks arising from copyright claims against users of its AI services. This commitment results in both training data and base models, providing comprehensive protection for customers.
The decision comes amid a broader shift by the industry to address intellectual property risks associated with generative AI technologies.
Google is committed to protecting users of its Generative AI products.
Google Cloud's commitment to its customers is deep-rooted and unwavering. The company said:
“We're committed to helping you improve with technology, using our deep experience to ensure you can use the newest and best technology while maintaining your safety and security.”
This extends to generative AI tools such as Duet AI and Vertex AI. In this way, Google hopes to foster a safe and secure environment for users to experiment and build with AI foundational models.
The tech giant's novel intellectual property compensation is two-fold. The first prong focuses on the use of Google training data, while the second covers the results of foundational models. Google Cloud explains,
“If you object because of copyright, we will take responsibility for the legal risks.”
This assurance gives customers peace of mind when navigating the complex web of AI products.

The sensitive issue of copyright infringement
Meanwhile, San Francisco-based tech company Story Protocol has secured $54 million in funding to tackle copyright infringement powered by generative AI technologies. Led by Andreessen Horowitz, the investment round marks a shift in focus to AI amid copyright disputes surrounding AI-generated content.
The newly injected funds will accelerate the development of the Story Protocol blockchain technology, which is planned for next year.
The US Copyright Office has emphasized the importance of proposed technologies such as Google Cloud's Indemnity Protection and History Protocol. A press release stated.
“These issues include the use of copyrighted works to train AI models, appropriate transparency and disclosure regarding the use of copyrighted works, the legal status of AI-generated outputs, and the appropriate treatment of AI-generated outputs that simulate the personal characteristics of human artists.”
As AI-generated content becomes more ingrained in our daily lives, Google Cloud's commitment to take legal responsibility for copyright claims against users of AI services sets a new industry standard. This, combined with Story Protocol's upcoming blockchain-based solution, represents a major step forward in addressing the intellectual property concerns of the AI era.
