Google indemnifies generative AI customers over IP rights claims

Google announced on Thursday that it will protect its generative AI customers against any intellectual property claims made on the data used or output served by Google-hosted AI models. By extending protection in its cloud and workspace environments, Google joins the list of technology firms that have recently announced IP support for using their own generative AI tools. These include companies like IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, and Adobe. Google said the protection would span across all Google environments using the Duet AI collaborator, and the company's homegrown generative AI engine Vertex AI. The indemnity clause by leading technology companies will likely bring in hope as generative AI's challenges over privacy, security, and intellectual property violations peak.
