Major Publishers and Author Scott Turow Sue Google Over Gemini AI Training

A coalition of major publishers and author Scott Turow filed a class action lawsuit against Google on July 10, 2026, alleging the company illegally copied millions of copyrighted books and articles to train its Gemini artificial intelligence models. The complaint, lodged in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:26-cv-05870), accuses Google of what it describes as one of the most prolific infringements of copyrighted materials in history.
