The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

French regulators fined Google €250 million after its AI chatbot Bard/Gemini was trained on copyrighted news content without proper authorization or compensation to publishers. The Autorité de la Concurrence found Google breached legal commitments and failed to provide publishers with opt-out mechanisms, violating intellectual property rights.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The event explicitly involves an AI system (Google's chatbot Bard) whose training data included copyrighted content without authorization, leading to a legal penalty for copyright infringement. This constitutes a violation of intellectual property rights (harm category c) directly caused by the AI system's development and use. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident rather than a hazard or complementary information, as the harm has already materialized and regulatory action has been taken.[AI generated]

Google's search and content moderation systems use AI algorithms to rank, filter, and present information. The reported manipulation and bias in these algorithms have directly influenced election outcomes and suppressed political opponents, which constitutes harm to communities and violations of rights. The article details multiple instances over years where Google's AI systems allegedly caused these harms, meeting the criteria for an AI Incident. Elon Musk's endorsement further highlights the significance of the issue. The harm is realized, not just potential, so it is not an AI Hazard. It is not merely complementary information because the main focus is on the harm caused by AI systems, not on responses or updates.
