On Tuesday, five publishers—Elsevier, Cengage, Hachette, Macmillan, and McGraw Hill—filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms in Manhattan federal court. They accused Meta of misusing their books and journal articles to train its artificial intelligence model, Llama. In the class-action lawsuit, these publishers and author Scott Turow claimed that Meta pirated millions of their works without permission to train large language models for responding to human prompts.
