Court allows Meta to train AI using copyrighted books

ft.com [$]

A federal court ruled Wednesday that Meta's use of copyrighted books to train its AI models constitutes "fair use," a significant win for tech companies. The ruling, stemming from a case brought by authors like Ta-Nehisi Coates, allows Meta to use millions of online books to train its Llama AI. The judge stated the authors failed to make the correct arguments to prove copyright infringement. This decision follows a similar ruling favoring Anthropic, and highlights ongoing legal battles over AI training and creators' rights, as companies profit from AI development.
