Meta Faces Trial Over Alleged Use of Pirated Works in AI Training Dataset
A federal judge has allowed an AI copyright lawsuit against Meta to proceed while dismissing part of it. Authors Richard Kadrey and Sarah Silverman allege that Meta used their books to train Llama AI models and removed copyright information to hide infringement. Meta claims its training is fair use. The judge found sufficient grounds for the authors' claims but dismissed their California CDAFA claims, highlighting Meta's copyright practices amid ongoing litigation.
