Gemini Notebook now imports your Google Play Books titles, turning shelfware into notes
Your unfinished ebooks are now Gemini Notebook's problem.
Google has teamed up with authors to make certain paid books available through Gemini Notebook. This new feature, called "Expert Intelligence," allows users to import certain owned titles from Google Play Books into the notebook. By doing so, users can combine insights from multiple titles, creating a broader knowledge bank within a single notebook.
This partnership aims to address the ongoing debate about using copyrighted text for training large language models, a topic that has been controversial since the rise of AI. While frontier labs have been granted access to books, including physical ones, to satisfy the high demand for pretraining data, Google is taking a more responsible approach by partnering with authors and ensuring they are compensated for their work.
This collaboration not only makes it easier for users to access and utilize the wisdom contained within books but also helps Google navigate the complex legal landscape surrounding the use of copyrighted material in AI research and learning.
