French Authorities Slap Google With IP Violation Fine

Google has agreed to pay a fine imposed by the French government’s competition authority. The decision resulted from a breach of European Union intellectual property laws. The debate is focused on Google’s AI service, which was formerly dubbed Bard and is now known as Gemini. It is accused of using content without authorized permission from French publishers and news agencies. These concerns were highlighted by the French competition watchdog, which initiated a comprehensive inquiry.
