美国奇点计算公司（Singular Computing）近日对谷歌提起诉讼，指控其侵犯其AI处理器相关两项技术专利，并向法院索赔16.7亿美元。该公司计算机科学家约瑟夫·贝茨（Joseph Bates）表示，谷歌抄袭了他的技术，并将其应用于人工智能开发。
据贝茨律师团队称，2010年至2014年间，谷歌和贝茨曾就合作前景进行过探讨，贝茨向谷歌展示了他的人工智能支持芯片及其在驱动人工智能处理方面的潜力。然而，谷歌未征求贝茨同意，便抄袭了他的创新成果，并将该技术应用于开发张量处理单元（TPU），进而用于谷歌翻译、谷歌搜索、Gmail和其他服务。
奇点计算公司认为，谷歌的这一行为严重侵犯了他们的专利权，因此向法院提起诉讼。目前，本案正处于庭审阶段。

News content:
Singular Computing, a US-based company, has recently filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing it of infringing on two of its AI processor-related technical patents and seeking $1.67 billion in damages. The company’s computer scientist, Joseph Bates, alleges that Google copied his technology and applied it to AI development.
According to Bates’ legal team, Google and Bates had discussed potential collaboration opportunities from 2010 to 2014, during which Bates shared his AI-supporting chip and its potential in driving AI processing. However, without obtaining Bates’ consent, Google is accused of copying his innovative achievement and applying the technology to develop Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), which are used in various services including Google Translate, Google Search, Gmail, and more.
Singular Computing believes that Google’s actions have severely infringed upon their patent rights and has thus filed the lawsuit. The case is currently in the trial stage.
