The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Dutch writers, translators, and journalists, represented by the Auteursbond, NVJ, and Stichting Lira, have formally demanded that Meta cease using their copyrighted texts without permission or payment to train AI models like Llama. They allege this practice violates intellectual property rights and undermines creators' economic interests.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event explicitly involves AI systems (Meta's AI language model Llama) trained on copyrighted works without authorization, which constitutes a violation of intellectual property rights (harm category c). The unions' demand to stop using these datasets and the threat of legal action indicate that the harm has already occurred due to the AI system's development and use. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident because the AI system's development and use have directly led to a breach of legal obligations protecting intellectual property rights. The event is not merely a potential risk or a complementary update but a concrete incident of harm related to AI.[AI generated]
