Celebrated writers sue Meta over copyright infringement in AI coaching

Several acclaimed artists and writers are suing tech big Meta for utilizing their copyrighted manufacturing to coach the corporate’s LLaMA synthetic intelligence program.

Tony Award-winner David Henry Hwang, Pulitzer Prize-recipient Michael Chabon, and authors Matthew Klam, Rachel Louise Snyder and Ayelet Waldman filed a class-action lawsuit in opposition to Meta in San Francisco for copying and ingesting their work for the AI challenge.

According to the plaintiffs, Meta’s language mannequin used to coach LLaMA “provides information about the copyrighted work, including the title of the work, the ISBN or copyright registration number, the name of the author and the year of publication.”



The lawsuit provides that the plaintiffs “have been and remain the holders of the exclusive rights under the Copyright Act of 1976 to reproduce, distribute, display, or license the reproduction, distribution and/or display of the works identified.”

As AI know-how develops, extra lawsuits are prone to come as new questions come up. Recently, Universal Music Group filed a lawsuit in opposition to a TikTok creator after it generated an AI tune that was made to sound like Drake and The Weeknd.
