Google finds itself in hot water as it faces a whopping $1.67 billion damages demand in an AI-related patent trial.

The tech giant’s legal battle will put its innovative prowess and intellectual property rights to the test.

Google is being sued by a rival company claiming that the search engine giant has infringed upon their AI-related patents.

A lawyer for Singular Computing, founded by Massachusetts-based computer scientist Joseph Bates, argued that Google copied Bates’ technology after multiple meetings to discuss his AI development ideas.

According to lawyer Kerry Timbers, between 2010 and 2014, Bates shared his computer-processing innovations with Google.

However, without his knowledge, Google ended up copying his patented technology instead of licensing it to develop its own AI-supporting chips.

Bates’ innovations were integrated into Google’s Tensor Processing Units, which were used to support AI features in various Google services, including Google Search, Gmail, and Google Translate, among others.

Kerry added that Google’s actions were in violation of Bates’ patent.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
