French publishers and authors are suing Meta, claiming it used their copyrighted materials without permission to train its AI models. Three trade groups filed the lawsuit in a Paris court, highlighting concerns over AI's reliance on artist works. The publishers emphasized the need to protect cultural heritage from AI that generates competing content. The case reflects ongoing tensions between creators and tech companies regarding intellectual property, especially under new European Union regulations aimed at ensuring compliance with copyright laws for AI systems.
Meta's massive use of copyrighted works without authorization to train its generative AI model is being challenged by French publishers and authors in court.
The National Publishing Union stated that numerous works from its members have been used in Meta's data pool, prompting legal action.
The lawsuit aims to protect cultural heritage and address concerns about AI-generated works competing with authentic books.
Under the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act, generative AI systems must comply with copyright law and transparency regarding training material.
