A federal judge is allowing an AI-related copyright lawsuit against Meta to move forward, although he dismissed part of the suit.
Authors including Richard Kadrey, Sarah Silverman, and Ta-Nehisi Coates allege that Meta violated their intellectual property rights by using their books to train its Llama AI models and removing copyright information.
Meta claims fair use for its training and argued that the authors lack standing to sue, but the judge ruled that the authors' allegations are sufficient for standing.
The judge dismissed claims related to the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act (CDAFA).
