Google has been slapped with a $270 million fine by French authorities for utilizing articles from media firms to train its AI chatbot, Gemini, without securing prior permission. The New York Times reported that the tech behemoth failed to notify the publishers or the French government about this activity. This event is a chapter in the ongoing conflict between France, Google and, indirectly, the European Union over tech monopolies on services and goods.
