Authors are pushing for summary judgment, citing Meta’s admitted torrenting of pirated books to train its AI models as evidence of copyright infringement.

French publishers and authors are taking legal action against Meta Platforms Inc., alleging the tech giant used their books to train its AI model without authorization.

A federal judge has ruled that a copyright infringement case against Meta, brought by a group of authors including Sarah Silverman, can proceed. The lawsuit alleges that Meta used copyrighted material without consent to train its AI models, potentially leading to significant penalties and setting a new legal precedent.
