U.S. Publishers Sue Google Over AI-Generated Content Infringement

Two major U.S. publishers, Cengage Group and Hachette Book Group, have filed a lawsuit against Google in federal court in New York, alleging massive copyright infringement behind its Gemini AI service. The suit was also joined by bestselling author Scott Turow. This latest development marks the second high-profile lawsuit against Google’s AI technology this year, following a similar suit filed by five major academic and trade publishers against Meta in May.
