"The publishers allege that Meta illegally used their work to train its artificial intelligence program, Llama. They also claim that the program removed copyright notices for the work it was training on."
"A.I. is powering transformative innovations, productivity and creativity for individuals and companies, and courts have rightly found that training A.I. on copyrighted material can qualify as fair use."
"This ruling does not stand for the proposition that Meta's use of copyrighted materials to train its language models is lawful. It stands only for the proposition that these plaintiffs made the wrong arguments."
Five publishers and novelist Scott Turow have filed a class action lawsuit against Meta, claiming illegal use of their work to train the AI program Llama. The lawsuit alleges that Meta removed copyright notices from the works used for training. Meta's spokesperson stated that they will contest the lawsuit, asserting that training AI on copyrighted material can qualify as fair use. A previous lawsuit against Meta by several writers was dismissed, with the judge noting that the plaintiffs failed to present a strong case.
