Meta fends off authors’ US copyright lawsuit over AI
Meta Platforms made a legal gain against a group of writers who argue that the use of books without permission to educate the artificial intelligence system.
In his decision, the writers of the US Regional Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco said that the authors did not offer enough evidence that the artificial intelligence of the Meta will be illegal to show that the company’s behavior is illegal in accordance with the US Copyright Law.
However, Chhabria also said that the use of a copyright -protected study without permission to train AI will be illegally divided by another federal judge in San Francisco, who found an anthropic right ”in a separate case in which the materials that were protected by anthropic’s AI training on the copyright on Monday.
“This decision does not foresee that the use of materials protected to educate the language models of Meta is legal,” Chhabria said. “This only represents the proposal that these plaintiffs have made wrong arguments and did not develop a record to support the right thing.”
The authors’ law firm Boies Schiller Flexner spokesman said the company’s “undisputed piracy of the works that are protected with the right to copyrights”, despite the “undisputed record”, the judge did not participate in the decision of the judge to dominate Meta.
A commodity spokesman said that the company appreciates the decision and calls a “vital legal frame” to create a “converter” AI technology to the use of fair use.
The authors filed a lawsuit against Meta in 2023 and argued that the company’s AI System Llama abused pirate versions of books to train without permission or compensation.
The legal doctrine of fair use allows the use of copyrights to be used in some cases without the permission of the copyright holder. It is an important defense for technology companies.
AI companies argue that their systems are fairly used by examining the material -protected materials to learn how to create new, transformative content and that they are forced to pay to copyright owners to work and can hamstring the developing AI industry.
Copyright holders say that AI companies have illegally copying their work to create competitors that threaten their livelihoods. Chhabria sympathized with this argument during a hearing on Wednesday in May.
The judge said that the productive AI has the potential to flow into the market with endless images, songs, articles and books that use a small part of time and creativity.
For this reason, he said, “It will significantly weaken the incentive for people to create work in an old -fashioned way,” he said.
In another case watched by creative industries and technology companies, Getty Images left the allegations of copyright infringement from the case against the Artificial Intelligence Company against Stability AI.
At the British Supreme Court, he tried to show the careful creative work of Getty professional photographers – the images of a Caribbean beach scene and an award show as actor Donald Glover’s famous shots and Kurt Cobain’s smoking.
These real photographs brought side by side with the outputs of stability produced by artificial intelligence.
Getty claimed that using images of stability has violated intellectual property rights, including copyright, trademark and database rights.
It was difficult to do in the UK, although partly London -based, because it did the AI training of stability in other places on computers operated by US technology giant Amazon.
The Court will continue to hear other claims with the Getty images of copyright and trademark violations.
