A recent legal ruling has favored Meta in a copyright lawsuit initiated by several authors including Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates. The authors claimed that Meta's use of their works to train AI systems was a violation of copyright law. However, the judge determined that the evidence presented by the authors was insufficient to demonstrate that Meta's actions harmed their market. This ruling comes alongside a similar decision for Anthropic, supporting the idea of fair use under certain conditions.
Chhabria noted that the authors did not provide sufficient evidence showing that Meta's AI would harm their market, hence their arguments were not compelling under US copyright law.
This ruling provided a glimmer of hope for creatives arguing against the unauthorized training of AI models on their works, indicating limitations on fair use.
