Meta refused that Llama, its artificial intelligence model was trained using copyrighted material from popular books, stated Cointelegraph.
Sources revealed that on September 18, 2023, Meta asked a San Francisco federal judge to dismiss claims made by author Sarah Silverman. It is believed that other authors had also mentioned that they have violated the copyrights of their books in the training of its AI system.
“Use of texts to train LLaMA to statistically model language and generate original expression is transformative by nature and quintessential fair use…,” Meta explained.
It is expected that Meta had explained that the “core issue” of copyright fair use should be taken up again on “another day, on a more fulsome record.” Furthermore, the company is believed to have mentioned that Meta couldn’t provide explanations of the “information” they’re referring to. Supposedly, they couldn’t provide specific outputs related to their material, Cointelegraph concluded.
