A legal adviser to the EU’s top court says Google’s Gemini chatbot could infringe EU copyright rules if it uses press articles to produce answers for users. The adviser’s opinion, reported by outlets covering the case, raises a distinction between how AI systems are trained using copyrighted material and how publishers’ work may be reproduced when the chatbot responds.
The accounts describe the adviser as warning that using news content in a way that effectively reproduces publishers’ material in outputs may present a copyright risk. They also emphasise that this concern is separate from training, which the adviser frames differently under EU rules.
While the different outlets largely agree on the adviser’s message and the training-versus-output distinction, some focus more tightly on the potential “risk” to copyright compliance (especially in technology-focused framing), while others foreground the specific claim about Google’s “use of press” in Gemini answers. Channel NewsAsia repeats the same core story in multiple listings, with no additional details visible in the provided summaries.
