New court applications In a AI consulting law against meta, the creed Previous reports That the company spoke to book relocations about license contracts in order to provide some of its generative AI models with training data.
The submissions refer to the case Kadrey v. Meta platforms -One of many such cases that are involved in the US Court of Court that begins AI company against authors and other owners of intellectual property. For the most part, in these cases – AI companies – claimed that the training is “used fairly” for copyrighted content. The plaintiffs – copyright owners – disagree.

According to a transcript, Sy Choudhury said, who heads Meta’s AI partnership initiatives that Meta’s public relations work on various publishers had met with “very slow admission and interest”.

Choudhury added: “There were a couple who, as they know, are committed, but not many.”

During his deposition, Choudhury noticed that Meta, according to a transcript at least one other occasion, was the license effort in connection with AI development.
“I am aware of the license efforts that we have tried, for example, to license 3D worlds from various player engine and game manufacturers for our AI research team,” said Choudhury. “And just as I describe here for fiction and textbook data, we have very little commitment to even conduct a conversation (…) that we decided – in this case we decided to build up our own solution.”
Lawyer of the plaintiffs, including the bestselling authors Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, have changed their complaint several times by the plaintiffs’ lawyers claimed that META has provided, among other things, certain predatory books with copyright-protected books for license, among other things to determine whether it makes sense to pursue a license agreement with a publisher.
