Alphabet shareholder Phil Rosen has filed a derivative lawsuit against CEO Sundar Pichai and 12 other current and former executives and board members. He alleges that they exposed the company to copyright liability by allowing AI tools, including music generator Lyria, to be trained on copyrighted material without authorization.
Rosen filed the case on Alphabet’s behalf, alleging that its leadership breached its duties by failing to manage copyright risks in the company’s AI development. Any damages awarded would go to Alphabet.
