Change Summary
Google Cloud expanded its acceptable use restrictions to explicitly cover 'AI Agents' in addition to the Services themselves. The updated terms now prohibit customers and end users from using AI Agents for high-risk activities, in violation of the acceptable use policy, to avoid fees, for cryptocurrency mining without approval, for telecommunications services, emergency calls, ITAR-controlled materials, export control violations, and other restricted purposes. The change also added a definition stating that 'AI Agent' has the meaning described in the applicable Service Specific Terms, and modified the indemnification clause to include breaches involving AI Agents. Additionally, the definition of 'Export Control Laws' was revised to remove the phrase 're-export' from the opening language.
