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）指控谷歌抄袭其技术，并将其应用于人工智能开发，特别是张量处理单元（TPU）的开发。
贝茨在庭审中透露，2010年至2014年间，谷歌和贝茨曾就合作前景进行过讨论，贝茨向谷歌展示了他的人工智能支持芯片以及如何推动人工智能处理。然而，谷歌后来未经许可采用了他的创新成果，开发出了TPU，并将其应用于谷歌翻译、谷歌搜索、Gmail等众多服务。
Singular Computing声称，谷歌的行为严重侵犯了他们的专利权，给公司造成了巨大的经济损失。对此，谷歌方面尚未做出公开回应。
英文标题：Singular Computing Sues Google for Infringing AI Chip Patent
Keywords: Singular Computing, Google, AI chip patent
News content:
Singular Computing, a US-based company, has recently filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing the tech giant of infringing on its AI processor-related two technology patents and seeking $1.67 billion in damages. The company’s computer scientist, Joseph Bates, alleged that Google copied his technology and applied it to AI development, particularly the development of Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).
During the trial, Bates revealed that between 2010 and 2014, Google and he had discussed potential collaboration, during which he introduced his AI-supporting chips and how they could facilitate AI processing. However, Google later adopted his innovative achievements without permission, developing TPUs and applying them to a variety of services, including Google Translate, Google Search, Gmail, and more.
Singular Computing claims that Google’s actions have severely infringed upon their patent rights and caused substantial economic losses to the company. Google has not yet made a public response to these allegations.
