"Google was hit with a roughly $270 million fine on Wednesday, in part over how it trained its AI.
French regulators say Google went back on its commitments tied to negotiating deals with news outlets in France for their content. The watchdog alleged Google used the journalists' content without telling them in order to teach its AI chatbot Bard — now rebranded as Gemini.
Google had promised in a previous settlement to "negotiate in good faith based on transparent, objective and non-discriminatory criteria," which the regulators referred to as "Commitment 1."
The regulators said there are still legal questions related to the use of news content to train AI models, but "at the very least, the Autorité considers that Google breached Commitment 1 by failing to inform publishers of the use of their content for their Bard software."
