Meta’s victory in copyright breach file for teaching artificial intelligence models

Artificial Intelligence companies have faced complaints about copyright law in recent years, and now Meta In one of the most important cases Copyright Related to Teaching AI models It has reached a time.

In the petition, 13 authors claimed that Meta had used their works to teach his artificial intelligence systems without permission. But Judge Vince Chairia on Wednesday issued a vote in favor of Meta announced that the company “has the right to obtain a summary of the defense of a fair use of copyright violations using the authors’ books to teach language models.”

Simply put, the judge has stated that Meta is entitled to receive a ruling without the need to hold a complete court against a copyright violation claim.

However, the judge has warned that this vote does not mean the legal use of meta using copyright works to teach language models. He emphasized in his ruling:

“This sentence does not mean that the meta use of copyright works to teach language models is legal. “The ruling only means that the plaintiffs have provided incorrect arguments and have failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the right argument.”

The sentence was issued just one day after the legal victory similar to Anthropic. In that case, the federal judge also stated that teaching language models using legal copies of books was a fair use.

Rejection

Judge Chaboria has clearly rejected two of the plaintiffs’ arguments in reviewing the meta case. The first is the ability to produce parts of the books by the Llama Meta model, and the second is to reduce the ability of the authors to grant their work permitted to teach artificial intelligence models. He wrote.

“The LLAMA model cannot produce as much as the textbooks books, and the plaintiffs have no right to the licensing market for the teaching of artificial intelligence models.”

According to the judge, the plaintiffs failed to support the argument that “might win”: that meta copying could lead to the supply of similar products in the market and reduce the value of the main works. He also referred to the recent vote of Judge William Aseap in the Anthropic case, saying that the judge had ignored concerns about the possible damage to productive models to the main market.
