Amidst an explosive legal showdown, the tech giant Google is challenged over its AI tactics. The heart of the issue? Data privacy and copyright laws.

A week after Google updated its privacy policy to allow data scraping for AI training purposes, the company faces a class-action lawsuit.

California legal outfit Clarkson Law Firm has filed a lawsuit against search giant Google over the company’s recently announced move to scrape all publicly available data from the Internet for training its AI products.

In a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in San Francisco federal court, Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., is accused of misusing vast amounts of personal information and copyrighted material for training its artificial intelligence systems. The plaintiffs, who seek to represent millions of internet users and copyright holders, argue that Google’s unauthorized scraping of data from websites violates their privacy and property rights.

A federal lawsuit is accusing Google of “secretly stealing everything ever created and shared on the internet” to build its AI technology.

The class action filing is going after Google for scraping ‘virtually the entirety of our digital footprint.’
