Apple faces lawsuit for using pirated books to train its AI model
Apple faces a lawsuit alleging it used pirated books to train an AI model without permission. Plaintiffs claim copyright infringement, arguing Apple profited from unauthorized datasets scraped from shadow libraries. The case seeks damages and an injunction, and challenges industry norms around data sourcing, consent, and transparency. Apple may argue fair use and deny knowledge of infringement. The outcome could set precedent for how tech companies acquire training data, disclose sources, and respect authors’ rights.
