Apple Faces Lawsuit Over AI Training on Copyrighted Books
Apple is facing a class action lawsuit from two authors who claim the company trained its Apple Intelligence AI on thousands of pirated books.
“The day after Apple officially introduced Apple Intelligence, the company gained more than $200 billion in value: ‘the single most lucrative day in the history of the company,’”
According to the lawsuit, generative AI models are only as good as the training data they are trained on. The lawsuit states that using good writing in training models makes AI outputs better and models more valuable.
The authors allege that Apple's use of copyrighted content was lucrative for the company, resulting in a significant gain in value.
