Google is set to update its Terms of Service on May 22, in an effort to provide users with more information about their rights and responsibilities when it comes to conflicts and the ownership of original content created by artificial intelligence (AI). This update aims to help users understand what they can expect from the technology company and its products when using digital services.
One of the key updates involves clarifying ownership of content generated by generative AI. Google has made it clear in the ‘your content’ section that it will not claim ownership of original content produced by its services, including AI-generated content. It also outlines the responsibilities of each party in case of a dispute for violating the terms of use. Google states that it can suspend or terminate access as well as pursue other remedies as per applicable law. Users are also given the opportunity to describe any disagreements and resolve them in case of disputes with the company.
Another important update includes a section addressing abuse by users of its services. To address issues where “a small number of people” have not followed the rules, Google has included more examples and details about inappropriate use and interference with services that are not allowed. This update aims to provide greater clarity and transparency for users using Google’s services and products.
Overall, this update provides valuable information for users about their rights and responsibilities when using digital services, while also helping them better understand how Google handles ownership of original content created by AI.
