A pair of academic authors have launched a class action suit against Apple, because Apple Intelligence training used a repository of books known to contain pirated copy of their books, reports AppleInsider.
Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen Macknik, professors at SUNY Health Sciences University in New York, claims that “Champions of Illusion: The Science Behind Mind-Boggling Images and Mystifying Brain Puzzles” and “Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals About Our Everyday Deceptions” were raided without licensing to train Apple Intelligence.
This isn’t the first lawsuit of its kind. Last month Apple accused by authors in a lawsuit of illegally using their copyrighted books to help train its artificial intelligence systems, part of an expanding legal fight over protections for intellectual property in the AI era, reported Reuters.
The lawsuit was filed in the federal court in Northern California, and claims Apple copied protected works without consent and without credit or compensation. Apple hasn’t attempted to pay these authors for their contributions to this potentially lucrative venture,” according to the lawsuit, filed by authors Grady Hendrix and Jennifer Roberson.
