Book Brawl: British Authors Fight Back Against Meta in AI Training Scandal
British authors are outraged to discover their books on LibGen, a 'shadow library' allegedly used by Meta to train its AI model, Llama 3. A lawsuit filed against Meta accuses them of copyright infringement. In response, Meta argues the use falls under 'fair use,' and denies any direct replication of authors' works. The Society of Authors is demanding compensation, and the UK debates an AI copyright exemption.
