A federal judge ruled in favor of Meta in a lawsuit with 13 authors, including Sarah Silverman, who alleged unauthorized use of their copyrighted works for AI training. Judge Vince Chhabria emphasized that the ruling pertains specifically to this case, applying the "fair use" doctrine. This decision aligns with a recent ruling in favor of Anthropic and suggests a potential trend benefiting technology companies in similar copyright disputes, although the judge cautioned that not all AI training on copyrighted materials would be legal, depending on the case specifics and evidence presented.
"This ruling does not stand for the proposition that Meta's use of copyrighted materials to train its language models is lawful..."
"In cases involving uses like Meta's, it seems like the plaintiffs will often win, at least where those cases have better-developed records on the market effects of the defendant's use."
