Google Courts Hollywood Studios for AI Training Rights

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is in talks with major Hollywood studios to license their film and TV intellectual property for training its AI models. The goal is to secure explicit rights to use copyrighted content, reducing legal friction around AI training data.

The discussions focus on securing licensing fees and new partnership structures that could link the content libraries of these studios with Google's AI products.

This outreach highlights growing interest from entertainment companies in shaping how generative AI tools use premium media assets. The talks also underscore Alphabet's broader push to link its AI products with premium media libraries across multiple regions.
