Recent rulings in Californian courts have cast doubt on authors' rights as they seek compensation for the use of their works by AI models. In separate cases involving Anthropic and Meta, judges ruled that such AI firms could use authors' content if licensed correctly, labeling Meta's actions as fair use. The court stated that the plaintiffs' claims of financial harm lacked evidence, leaving the authors disappointed as the outcomes only pertained to a small group rather than a broader class action.
On Monday, Anthropic won most of its case against three authors over its use of their works to train its AI... Judge William Alsup ruled Anthropic was able to use the authors' books if it bought them, but not if it pirated their material.
Citing Judge Alsup's earlier ruling, Chhabria said Meta's copying of the authors' works was technically fair use, since the AI wouldn't reproduce large parts of their text, and that the authors should have tried a different legal argument.
