In two recent decisions, U.S. courts have ruled in favor of AI leaders Meta and Anthropic, allowing the use of copyrighted materials to train large language models (LLMs). This sets a significant precedent for the future of AI research and development. Learn more about why courts found using literature to train LLMs was considered fair use under copyright law — and why these outcomes could change in the future: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.phubs.li/Q03xXHPf0 Shukri Souri, Shaun Cruz, Sang Min Han #Exponent #Alert #ConsumerElectronics #Legal #AI #LLMs
