Meta Scores Ai Fair Use Victory, but the judge warns that these victories will not always be the case

Artificial intelligence companies scored another victory in the court this week. Meta won on Wednesday an application to obtain a partial summary ruling in her favor in the Kadrey V case. Amnesty International Models. The ruling comes after two days A similar victory The human maker.

But Judge Vince Chapria confirmed in his matter that this ruling should be limited and does not exempt future claims from other authors.

He wrote, “This ruling does not fall into the proposal that the use of dead materials protected by copyrights to train their language models is legal.” “He only stands for the suggestion that these prosecutors presented the wrong arguments and failed to develop a record to support the correct registry.”

The problem at the heart of cases is whether the use of artificial intelligence companies for protected content to train artificial intelligence is qualified for fair use. The doctrine of just use is an essential part of the law of copyright in the United States that allows people to use copyrights protected without explicit permission for rights holders, as is the case in education and journalism. There are four main considerations when evaluating if there is a fair thing. Antarubor’s decision focused on conversion, while dead focused on the impact of the use of artificial intelligence on the current publishing market.

These provisions are great victories for artificial intelligence companies. Openai, Google and others are fighting for fair use so that they do not have to conclude expensive and long licensing agreements with content creators, which increases much to Anger of content creators. For the authors who bring these cases, they may see some victories in subsequent piracy experiments (for anthropologist) or new lawsuits.

(Disclosure: Zif Davis, the parent company CNET, filed a lawsuit against Openai, claimed that it had violated the copyright of ZifF Davis in training and operating artificial intelligence systems.)

In his analysis, Chibria focused on the effect of books created on artificial intelligence on the current publishing market, which saw it was the most important factor in the four necessary to prove fair use. It has been widely written about the risk of violating artificial intelligence and large language models of copyright, and that fair use must be evaluated on the basis of each case separately. He wrote some works, such as biography and classic literature, such as the mask in rye, most likely with artificial intelligence. However, he pointed out that “the romantic market or the model spy novel created for a person can diminish significantly through the multiplication of the works created from AI.”

In other words, Amnesty International can make human written books seem less valuable and facilitate the authors’ willingness and ability to create.

However, Chapria said that the prosecutors did not show enough evidence to prove damage from how “dead models will reduce the market for their own business.” Prosecutors focused their arguments on how Meta AI models reproduce accurate scraps from their business and how Llama models of the company harm their ability to license their books to artificial intelligence companies. These arguments were not convincing in the eyes of Chapria – called “The Frank Loses” – so he stood with Mita.

This differs from the human rule, where Judge William focused on the “transformational” nature to use Plantif books on the results spit on AI Chatbots. Chapria wrote that although “there is no disagreement”, the use of copyright -protected materials was transformed, the most urgent question was the effect of artificial intelligence systems on the ecosystem as a whole.

Alsup also made concerns about the anthropologist to obtain books, through illegal libraries online and then by circulating printed copies of digitization on a “research library”.

Two court rulings do not make every Amnesty International Certified Classification Company under fair use. What makes these cases notice is that they are the first to issue fundamental legal analyzes on this issue; Artificial intelligence companies and publishers are launched in court for years.

But as Chapria pointed out and responded to human ruling, all judges use previous cases with similar situations as reference points. They do not have to reach the same conclusion, but a previous role is important. We will likely see these two rulings referred to in cases of artificial intelligence and copyright/piracy.

But we have to wait and see the size of the impact of these provisions in future cases – and whether warnings or green lights bearing the largest weight in future decisions.
