French editors and authors said Wednesday that they are taking the goal to the courts, accusing the social networks company to use their works without permission to train their artificial intelligence model.
Three commercial groups said they were launching legal actions against a goal in a Paris court on what they said was the “mass use of works with the copyright of the company without authorization” to train their generative model.
The National Publishing Union, which represents the book editors, has indicated that “numerous works” of its members are appearing in the target data group, said the president of the group, Vincent Montagne, in a joint statement.
Goal did not respond to a request for comments. The company has implemented chatbot attendees generated by AI to users of its Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp platforms.
Montagne accused the goal of “breach with copyright and parasitism.”
Another group, the National Union of Authors and Composers, which represents 700 writers, playwrights and composers, said the demand was necessary to protect members of the “AI that generates their works and their cultural heritage for training.”
The union is also concerned about the AI that “produces ‘false books’ that compete with real books,” said the president of the union, Francois Peyrony.
The third group involved in demand, the Societe des Gens de Lettres, represents the authors. All demand the “complete elimination” of the data directories that Meta created without authorization to train their AI model.
According to the act of artificial intelligence of the European Union, the generative systems of AI must comply with the copyright law of the 27 nations block and be transparent about the material they used for training.
It is the last example of the clash between creative and editorial industries and technology companies on data and copyright.
