In a legal action initiated by 13 writers, United States Federal Judge Vince Chhabria has ruled in favor of Meta. The judge determined that Meta's employment of copyrighted materials to train AI models qualifies as "fair use." While previous cases have also sided with AI companies, judges have highlighted that the scope of these decisions is confined and not all AI training practices are lawful. In this particular lawsuit, the plaintiffs were unable to establish that Meta's actions had caused them market harm, a pivotal factor in determining copyright infringement. Currently, numerous lawsuits against tech companies involve the utilization of news, film, and television content for AI model training. The judge emphasized that the "fair use" defense must be evaluated on an individual basis, and industries like news may be more vulnerable to the ramifications of AI output.
