Google NotebookLM

One product-specific lawsuit is on record: in 2026 former NPR host David Greene sued Google alleging NotebookLM's AI podcast feature reproduced his distinctive voice without permission (Google denies it; allegations, not findings). No NotebookLM-specific regulatory action was found, and the short record is itself worth flagging rather than reading as a clean result. The structural concern is specific to the product: NotebookLM is designed for users to upload their own source documents and have an AI reason across them, which means the highest-value, most-curated personal and professional material a person holds gets deliberately concentrated in one place. Cross-ref the Google Gemini row in LLM Providers for Google's stated human-review and retention practices, which are the relevant governing terms.
