Book authors made the wrong arguments in Meta AI training case, judge says

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-26 23:45:41

On Wednesday, Judge Vince Chhabria explained that he sided wi

Meta wins AI copyright case filed by Sarah Silverman and other authors

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-27 19:00:35

Federal Judge Vince Chhabria has ruled in favor of Meta over the 13 book authors, including Sarah Silverman, who sued the company for training its large language model on their published work without obtaining consent. His court has granted summary judgment to Meta, which means the case didn't reach full trial. Chhabria said that Meta didn't violate copyright law after the plaintiffs had failed to show sufficient evidence that the company's use of the authors' work would hurt them financially.
