Rolling Stones’ Owner Company Sues Google Over AI Summaries

Park Music, the parent company of the legendary rock band The Rolling Stones, has filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing the tech giant of using its copyrighted songs to train its artificial intelligence models without permission. The lawsuit centers on Google’s new “AI Overviews” feature, which provides AI-generated summaries of search queries. Park Music claims that these overviews often include lyrics or other copyrighted information from its songs, directly infringing on its rights. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and an injunction preventing Google from continuing to use its copyrighted material in its AI models. Several other music companies have joined the lawsuit, indicating a widespread concern in the industry regarding the AI’s use of their copyrighted works. The case highlights the complex legal challenges arising from artificial intelligence and its impact on intellectual property rights.
