Action: Federal judges issued rulings in two separate cases on the use of copyrighted material in AI models and fair use doctrine. In a case involving Anthropic, Judge William Alsup, Senior District Judge in the Northern District of California, ruled that the company’s use of copyrighted books it had purchased to train its models constitutes fair use. However, Judge Alsup declined to grant Anthropic’s assertion that its use of pirated books it collected over the internet was also fair use and indicated that question would go to trial. In a separate case, Judge Vince Chhabria, also a District Judge in the Northern District of California, ruled that Meta’s use of books written by 13 plaintiffs also constitutes permitted under fair use, noting that the plaintiffs failed to show that Meta’s use of their books damaged their potential market or value.Trusted Insights for What's Ahead®
