奇点计算公司（Singular Computing）近日向谷歌提起诉讼，声称谷歌侵犯了其两项与人工智能（AI）处理器相关的技术专利。奇点计算最初要求赔偿70亿美元，但在庭审过程中将索赔金额修改为16.7亿美元。原告约瑟夫·贝茨（Joseph Bates），一位计算机科学家，在庭审中告诉陪审团谷歌抄袭了他的技术，并将其用于AI开发。
贝茨的代表律师指出，在2010年至2014年间，谷歌和贝茨曾就合作的可能性进行了讨论。在此期间，贝茨向谷歌展示了他的AI支持芯片，并解释了其如何推动AI处理。贝茨指控谷歌不仅没有合作，反而抄袭了他的创新成果，并将其应用于开发张量处理单元（TPU），这些TPU随后被用于谷歌翻译、谷歌搜索、Gmail等服务的多种应用。
Title: Singular Computing Sues Google for AI Chip Patent Infringement
Keywords: Singular Computing, Google, AI Chip Patent

Singular Computing has recently filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging that the tech giant has infringed on two of its technology patents related to artificial intelligence (AI) processors. Singular Computing initially sought $7 billion in damages but later revised the amount to $1.67 billion during the trial. The plaintiff, Joseph Bates, a computer scientist, informed the jury during the trial that Google had copied his technology and utilized it in AI development.
Bates’s legal representative stated that between 2010 and 2014, Google and Bates had discussions about potential collaborations. During this period, Bates presented his AI-supporting chip to Google and explained how it could drive AI processing. Bates claims that instead of entering into a partnership, Google stole his innovative work and applied it to develop tensor processing units (TPUs), which were then used in various applications such as Google Translate, Google Search, and Gmail.
