Google is set to update its Terms of Service on May 22, with the aim of providing users with greater clarity on their rights and responsibilities when it comes to conflicts and ownership of original content created by artificial intelligence (AI). The update will also address issues related to user abuse and provide more specific examples and details about what is considered inappropriate use.
One of the key updates in the ‘your content’ section is a clarification that Google will not claim ownership of original content produced by its services, including generative AI. This section outlines the responsibilities of each party in the event of a dispute for violating the terms of use. If such disputes arise, users have been given the opportunity to describe any disagreements and resolve them with Google. In addition, Google has stated that it can suspend or terminate access as well as pursue other remedies as per applicable law.
Another important update involves addressing user abuse on Google’s services. To provide greater clarity and transparency for users, this update includes more examples and details about inappropriate use and interference with services that are not allowed. This move aims to help users understand what is expected from them when using digital services and products provided by Google.
