Antitrust authorities have taken action against Google for its practices in training its Generative AI, Bard, by imposing a $270M fine. The fine was levied due to Google's unauthorized use of French publishers' content without authorization. This marks Google as the first AI company to be fined over training data, signifying a significant move by regulators to scrutinize the methods used by tech giants in developing their AI technologies.
