The French Competition Authority said Google trained its artificial intelligence-powered Bard chatbot, since rebranded as Gemini, on content from publishers and news agencies without notifying them.
Google called Wednesday's fine disproportionate, and said the watchdog had not sufficiently taken into account its efforts "in an environment where it's very hard to set a course because we can’t predict which way the wind will blow next."
The fine comes as many publishers, writers and newsrooms seek to limit the automatic collection of their content by AI services without their consent.
Spain's competition watchdog last year began an investigation for alleged anti-competitive practices affecting news agencies and press publications.
In 2022, Germany's antitrust regulator shelved an investigation into Google's News Showcase service, after the tech giant made "important adjustments" to ease competition concerns.
The New York Times in 2023 sued Google rivals Microsoft and OpenAI, the creator of the popular artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT, accusing them of using millions of the newspaper's articles without permission to help train chatbots.

Marriage has always been meant to be for couples who are deeply committed and in love, no matter what genitals they have. No bible verse and no law of man can change that explicit truth. No court can decide who can be together and who can't. That's up to us as individuals because we are all born free with intrinsic rights to love whomsoever we decide without any restrictions.
I didn't click on all the links during my reading, but is there anywhere that states what evidence that the Syrian government is culprit? The article is very clear the drones are not special, they're just moderately sized quad copter style that you can find anywhere now, so, what's the link to the Syrian government?
Is this the "chemical weapon attacks" all over again?
Also... really don't like the use of "suicide" in this context. Its a munition, missiles aren't considered "suicide" missiles when they guide themselves to their target. Bombs that can correct their path to their target aren't considered "suicide" bombs.
Nothing is suiciding, the operator of the drone doesn't die when they blow up their drone.
This is a well established problem. Why any woman would travel to India is beyond me. Though Europeans do have a habit of going to places dangerous to them and then acting all surprised when the predictable outcome occurs.
Instead of focusing on the occurrence involving westerners, how about they focus on the women who live in India, who don't have a choice to be there, and for who this is a daily reality. The fact that in many places in India, they will punish the victim is atrocious. Indian society really needs to address this.
