Here's What We Know
The complaint alleges that Google is "has been secretly stealing everything ever created and shared on the internet by hundreds of millions of Americans." The company has also been accused of using this data to train its artificial intelligence products, such as chatbot Bard.
The complaint points to a recent update to Google's privacy policy. It explicitly states that the company can use publicly available information to train its AI models and tools like Bard.
The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief in the form of a temporary freeze on commercial access and development of Google's generative AI. The company is also asking for unspecified damages as financial compensation for the people whose data was used by the tech giant.
