"Meta's mass-scale infringement isn't public progress, and AI will never be properly realized if tech companies prioritize pirate sites over scholarship and imagination, Maria Pallante, the president of the Association of American Publishers, said in a statement."
"AI is powering transformative innovations, productivity and creativity for individuals and companies, and courts have rightly found that training AI on copyrighted material can qualify as fair use, a Meta spokesperson responded in a statement on Tuesday."
"The lawsuit opens a new front in the ongoing copyright battle between creators and tech companies over AI training, in which dozens of authors, news outlets, visual artists and other plaintiffs have sued companies including Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic for infringement."
Five major publishers, including Elsevier and Hachette, filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms, claiming the company unlawfully used their books and articles to train AI models. The publishers allege that Meta pirated millions of works, including textbooks and novels, for its Llama language models. They seek to represent a larger class of copyright owners and demand monetary damages. Meta denies wrongdoing, asserting that training AI on copyrighted material can be considered fair use. This lawsuit highlights ongoing copyright disputes between creators and tech companies regarding AI training practices.
