CJEU Advocate General Proposes Copyright Limits for AI News Summaries

An Advocate General of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a non-binding opinion stating that the real-time retrieval and reuse of online press publications by AI chatbots, such as Google's Gemini, to generate answers may infringe on the rights of press publishers under certain circumstances. The opinion suggests a test focusing on what the chatbot retrieves and returns, and whether it accessed articles unlawfully.
