Five publishing houses and author Scott Turow filed a class action lawsuit against Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, claiming copyright infringement. The lawsuit alleges that Meta illegally used millions of copyrighted works to train its AI language system, Llama, without permission or compensation. The plaintiffs argue that Zuckerberg encouraged this infringement, violating copyright law. Meta has stated its intention to fight the lawsuit, asserting that training AI on copyrighted material can qualify as fair use. This case adds to the ongoing legal battles between authors and AI developers.
