A new case was filed against Meta with the thesis that he used pirate books to educate artificial intelligence models. In the case, which is claimed to have been acted within the knowledge of Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of the company, the authors accuse Meta for a copyright violation.
Compared to the news of Ars Technica, the famous authors Ta-nehi Coates and Sarah Silverman also applied to the federal court in California.
Detected in internal employee correspondence
In the case documents, Library Genesis (Libgen), which owns Pirate Books to educate Meta’s artificial intelligence models, was referred to the in -house correspondence showing that he benefited from the online source.
Although Meta argues that using public equipment as educational data is within the scope of “fair use”, even a number of employees within the company are uncomfortable with this process. “It is not true to use torrent from a corporate laptop,” an employee in an in -house statement in the case documents. It is seen that he brought his anxiety to the language.
