Imagine you’re a graphic designer and you decide to use Duet AI to create images for a presentation to a client. A short time later, you receive a message from an illustrator who claims that one of the images used in your presentation looks very similar to her work and that she is suing you for copyright infringement.
Now, in a similar situation, Google is here to help you.
Google is following in Microsoft’s footsteps
Google just announced that it will defend Google Cloud and Google Workspace users from intellectual property lawsuits related to the use of generative AI.
The importance of copyright in the use of AI has been at the center of debates for several months. That’s why Microsoft and other companies in the industry have made similar commitments to Google: Last month, Microsoft announced its Copilot copyright commitment and promised to take responsibility for the legal risks associated with the claims.

Liability under certain conditions
Thanks to this new service, Google Cloud and Google Workspace users will benefit from compensation if a third party claims copyright related to training data or results generated by its AI. This is to protect against potential copyright infringement lawsuits related to the use of training data or content created by Google’s generative AI services.
This compensation is provided on the condition that users respect certain guidelines for the responsible use of AI, for example by refraining from intentionally infringing the intellectual property of others. If a user attempts to use AI to create an image by requesting a specific piece of art or uploading copyrighted content, Google will not be responsible for any copyright infringement. Author.
Google’s efforts underscore the web giant’s desire to strengthen its partnership with its users and give them some breathing room when using generative AI. As for relief for artists whose works have been used to train many of the large language models that underlie some generative AI tools, we still have to wait.
