Mark Zuckerberg gave Meta’s Llama Team the OK to Train on Copyrighted Works, Filing Claims
Meta’s use of copyrighted materials in its generative AI models has come under fire once again. According to a new court filing, Mark Zuckerberg himself granted permission for Meta’s Llama team to train on copyrighted works.
The filing claims that Zuckerberg authorized the team to use such materials without obtaining proper licenses or permissions from their creators. This move allowed Meta to develop its AI models using large amounts of data, but it also raises serious questions about copyright infringement.
Plaintiffs’ counsel alleges that this unauthorized training is a clear violation of copyright law and could have significant legal implications for the company. The court filing highlights the disparity between Meta’s actions and industry norms, stating that other companies would not engage in such activities without proper permissions.
It is worth noting that the case against Meta does not pertain to its recent releases but only the earliest Llama models.
