Authors, including Ta-Nehisi Coates and Sarah Silverman, allege Meta's illegal use of copyrighted materials to build AI models.

Meta Platforms trained its AI models using pirated versions of copyrighted books, with the approval of its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. According to newly disclosed court papers, a group of authors is alleging that the social media giant knew they were using pirated work to train their AI systems.
