March 20 (UPI) -- France's competition authority said Wednesday it is fining Google $271 million for training artificial intelligence on news articles without notifying the publishers or the competition authority.
The competition authority said Google's parent company Alphabet Inc., Google LLC, Google Ireland Ltd. and Google France were fined for "breaching its commitment to cooperate with the monitoring trustee and failing to comply with four of its seven commitments" made in 2022.
