The federal judge, with Anthropor, in a lawsuit to train artificial intelligence on books without the authors’ permission

Federal judge, William Al Sap Ruling It was legal that Antarubor trained artificial intelligence models on the published books without the authors’ permission. This represents the first time that the courts have granted credibility to claim artificial intelligence companies that the doctrine of fair use can relieve artificial intelligence companies from an error when using copyrights protected to train LLMS models.

This decision is a blow to the authors, artists and publishers who brought dozens of cases against companies such as Openai, Meta, MidjourneyGoogle, and more. Although the ruling is not a guarantee that the other judges follow the progress of Judge Alsup, it sets the basis for the courts alongside technology companies on designs.

These lawsuits often depend on how the judge explains the doctrine of just use, a Fame Paying the law of copyright Not updated Since 1976 – a time from the time of the Internet, not to mention the concept of artificial intelligence training groups.

The provisions of the fair use take into account what the work is used (it can be sarcastic simulation and viable education), whether it is cloned to achieve commercial gains (you can write the fans of the “Star Wars” fans, but you cannot sell it), and the extent of the transformation from the work derived from the original.

Companies like Dead The arguments of just use made similar in defense of training in copyright works, though before this week’s decision, was less clear how the courts would affect.

In this particular case, Partz against manA group of prosecutors also raised a question about the way in which Anthropor reached and storing their works. According to the lawsuit, the human being sought to create a “central library” from “all books in the world” to preserve “Forever”. However, millions of these books protected with copyright are free from hacker sites, which is unambiguously illegal.

While the judge granted that the anthropier training for these materials was fairly use, the court will be trial on the nature of the “central library”.

“We will have a trial on pirated copies used to create the Central Library of Anthropor and the resulting damage,” Judge Alsup wrote in the decision. “Anthropor later bought a copy of a book that I stole earlier, which would not exempt it from responsibility for theft, but it may affect the extent of legal damage.”
