Bloomberg: Google Can Train Search AI With Web Content After AI Opt-Out. “Google can train its search-specific AI products, like AI Overviews, on content across the web even when the publishers have chosen to opt out of training Google’s AI products, a vice-president of product at the company testified in court on Friday.”
"You have companies using #copyright-protected material to create a product that is capable of producing an infinite number of competing products," Chhabria told #Meta's attorneys. "You are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating, the market for that person's work, & you're saying that you don't even have to pay a license to that person."
"I just don't understand how that can be #FairUse," Chhabria said.
"You have companies using #copyright-protected material to create a product that is capable of producing an infinite number of competing products," Chhabria told #Meta's attorneys.

the entitlement of those pricks is astonishing
The #authors told Chhabria in a court filing that #Meta used their books "for their expressive #content — the very subject matter #copyright #law protects."
"Under a straightforward application of existing copyright law, Meta is liable for massive copyright infringement," the authors said.
#Meta told Chhabria in March that it used the #authors' material “transformatively”, to teach #LLaMa to "serve as a personal tutor on nearly any subject, assist with creative ideation, & help users to generate business reports, translate conversations, analyze data, write code, & compose poems or letters to friends."
"What it does not do is replicate Plaintiffs' books or substitute for reading them," Meta said.
#Technology companies have said that being forced to pay #copyright holders for their #content could hamstring the burgeoning, multi-billion dollar #AI industry. The defendants say their AI systems make #FairUse of copyrighted material by studying it to learn to create new, transformative content.
Plaintiffs in the cases counter that AI companies unlawfully copy their work to generate competing content that threatens their livelihoods.
The #FairUse question hangs over lawsuits brought by #authors, #news outlets & other #copyright owners against companies including #Meta, #OpenAI & #Anthropic. The #legal doctrine allows for the use of copyrighted work without the copyright owner's permission under some circumstances.
The authors in the Meta case sued in 2023, arguing the company used pirated versions of their books to train #LLaMa without permission or compensation.
Judge in #Meta case weighs key question for #AI #copyright lawsuits
A federal judge in SF will hear arguments on Thurs from Meta & a group of #authors in the 1st court hearing over a pivotal question in high-stakes copyright cases over #AItraining.
Judge Vince Chhabria will consider Meta's request for a pretrial ruling that it made "#FairUse" of books from writers including Junot Diaz & comedian Sarah Silverman to train its #LLaMa #LLM.
