Google has objected to the plaintiffs’ plans to introduce new information while consolidating an artificial intelligence (AI) copyright lawsuit involving a group of artists and a journalist. Initially resistant, the parties agreed to merge their lawsuits, alleging that Google unlawfully used their copyrighted works to train its AI models. However, Google is contesting the plaintiffs’ request to file a new consolidated complaint, claiming it “may materially depart from their prior pleadings,” as stated in a status report filed on Monday.
