Meta blames staff over pirated books used for AI training
Original: Meta tries to scapegoat staff who downloaded torrents to spare execs Meta argues nobody “decided” to pirate books to tra
Meta is arguing in court that no one at the company deliberately decided to pirate books to train its AI models, instead pointing to individual employees who downloaded material through torrents. Critics see the move as an attempt to shield executives from responsibility. A judge has ordered Meta to name the executives who approved the torrenting, intensifying scrutiny of how its AI models were built.
Why now: A court order forcing Meta to reveal which executives approved torrenting books for AI training has renewed debate over copyright and accountability in AI development.
