Meta and OpenAI use of copyrighted books for training AI was fair use: federal judge

A U.S. Judge determined that Meta’s use of copyrighted books for AI training was fair use, dismissing claims from 13 authors, including Sarah Silverman, due to insufficient evidence of market harm.

Judge Chhabria’s ruling, while favoring Meta, raises concerns and emphasizes that not all AI training methods may be lawful, indicating broader implications for AI ethics and copyright frameworks.
