近日，美国奇点计算公司（Singular Computing）起诉谷歌，指控其侵犯了两项人工智能芯片相关专利，并索赔16.7亿美元。该公司计算机科学家约瑟夫·贝茨表示，谷歌抄袭了他的技术，并将其用于人工智能开发。
据贝茨诉称，2010年至2014年间，谷歌曾与他讨论过合作前景，他向谷歌介绍了其人工智能支持芯片的技术。然而，谷歌却在未经许可的情况下，抄袭了他的创新成果，并应用该技术研发了张量处理单元（TPU）。贝茨认为，谷歌的这一行为侵犯了他的专利权。
据悉，谷歌的张量处理单元（TPU）被广泛应用于谷歌翻译、谷歌搜索、Gmail等众多服务。贝茨的代表律师表示，他们将全力维护贝茨的合法权益，要求谷歌对此事作出回应。
此次诉讼引发了业界对人工智能领域专利保护的关注。随着人工智能技术的不断发展，专利纠纷日益增多，如何确保创新者的权益得到保障，成为亟待解决的问题。

Recently, US-based Singular Computing sued Google, accusing it of infringing on two AI chip-related patents and seeking $1.67 billion in damages. The company’s computer scientist, Joseph Bates, claims that Google stole his technology and used it for AI development.
According to Bates, Google copied his innovations without permission and developed tensor processing units (TPUs) based on his descriptions of AI-supporting chip technology. Bates alleges that Google’s actions infringe on his patent rights.
It is reported that Google’s TPUs are widely used in various services such as Google Translate, Google Search, and Gmail. Bates’ representative lawyer stated that they will fully protect Bates’ legitimate rights and require Google to respond to this matter.
This lawsuit has sparked attention in the industry about the protection of intellectual property rights in the field of artificial intelligence. As AI technology continues to evolve, patent disputes are increasing, and how to ensure the rights and interests of innovators are protected has become an urgent issue to address.
