Global publishers are suing Meta for allegedly using millions of copyrighted works without permission to train its Llama AI model.Summary
Major publishing houses, including Elsevier, Cengage, and others, have filed a lawsuit against Meta, alleging the company illegally used millions of copyrighted books and journals to train its Llama AI model. The plaintiffs argue that Meta bypassed licensing frameworks to source this data, while Meta is expected to defend its actions under the doctrine of "fair use." The outcome of this case could establish a critical legal precedent for how AI companies obtain training data and compensate content creators.
