Mark Lemley, Meta's former corporate council, resigned citing the company's troubling move towards extreme ideologies such as toxic masculinity and neo-Nazi influences. In an exclusive Wired interview, he lamented the overall direction of the tech industry, expressing concern over executives like Zuckerberg and Musk. While distancing himself from Meta, Lemley maintained that the company has a solid legal standing in a copyright case concerning AI training datasets, illustrating the complexities of copyright laws in the age of AI.
Though he's never talked with Zuckerberg face-to-face, Lemley thinks both fellow executive Elon Musk and the Meta CEO "have been particularly egregious in their behavior."
Lemley expressed deep concern about the extreme directions some in the tech industry have taken, aligning with rising toxic masculinity and neo-Nazi madness.
Litigating a pivotal AI-intellectual-property case, Lemley still believes Meta is in the right regarding a copyright dispute over AI data use.
"Turns out, it's hard to purge all references to Mickey Mouse from your AI dataset," Lemley explained, highlighting the complexities of copyright in AI training.
