The affected artists are photographer Jingna Zhang<\/strong> and illustrators Sarah Andersen, Hope Larson, and Jessika Fink<\/strong>, who filed the lawsuit last Friday according to Reuters<\/a>. The group denounced the improper use of billions of copyrighted images to train Google’s Imagen<\/strong> generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google first announced the existence of Imagen through a research document. In this document, Google admits that Imagen had been trained with the LAION-400M<\/strong> public database of images, which in turn contains copyrighted material from these artists<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhang and Andersen are also involved in another similar case against Stability AI<\/strong> and Midjourney<\/strong>, among others. In addition, the lawsuit filed against Google also specifies that both Stability and Midjourney used the same databases<\/strong> to train their systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Google spokesperson, Jos\u00e9 Casta\u00f1eda, stated last Monday that “our AI models are primarily trained<\/strong> with publicly available information on the Internet<\/strong> […] US legislation has long supported the use of public information in new and beneficial ways, and we will refute these allegations in court<\/strong>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the artists’ lawyers, Joseph Saveri and Mathew Butterick, this is “another example of a multi-billion dollar technology company deciding to train a commercial AI product with copyrighted works of others without consent, credit, or compensation<\/strong>“. The artists have requested the court for compensation<\/strong> for damages, as well as to force Google to destroy their works<\/strong> within the systems.<\/p>\n\n\n
