Mark Zuckerberg Gave Meta’s Llama Team Permission to Train on Copyrighted Works, Court Filing Claims
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been accused of giving his company’s AI research team permission to train its Llama models on copyrighted content without obtaining proper licenses or permissions. This revelation comes as part of a recent court filing in an ongoing lawsuit.
According to the filing, Meta had been aware that its training data was largely composed of copyrighted materials. However, Zuckerberg reportedly gave his team the green light to proceed with using these works, even though they did not have the necessary permission.
This alleged permission is seen as a clear violation of copyright law and has sparked concerns about the potential consequences for the company. The court filing also reveals that Meta researchers were hesitant to engage in this activity, but Zuckerberg’s approval gave them the go-ahead.
The allegations are part of an ongoing lawsuit between Meta and other parties claiming their copyrighted works have been used without permission in the development of Llama models.
