Google says broad AI training rights with opt-outs offer balanced copyright framework
Opt-out controls for training and grounding
Google highlighted opt-out controls for training or grounding, citing Google-Extended, robots.txt, and Search Console settings for generative AI features.
Google backs broad AI training rights with opt-outs
Google said existing patent rules for artificial intelligence should be maintained but adapted to a surge in filings driven by generative AI tools.
The company cited WIPO data showing more new AI patents published in 2024-2025 than in the prior 10 years combined.
Copyright should focus on outputs, not training inputs
Google argued that copyright should focus on outputs, not training inputs, with liability tied to user misuse rather than the tool.
It supported text and data mining exceptions for training on publicly accessible content, warning that broad licensing mandates would curb AI innovation.
