Meta is facing a $446 million lawsuit from Strike 3 Holdings, alleging it illegally downloaded nearly 3,000 copyrighted adult films to train its visual generative AI models, including Movie Gen. A Meta executive is implicated in the unauthorized data acquisition, raising concerns over intellectual property violations in AI development.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event clearly involves an AI system (Meta's AI models) whose development allegedly relied on unauthorized use of copyrighted content, leading to a violation of intellectual property rights. This fits the definition of an AI Incident because the AI system's development and use have directly led to a breach of intellectual property rights, a recognized harm category. The lawsuit and court proceedings confirm that harm has occurred or is strongly alleged, not merely a potential risk. Therefore, this is classified as an AI Incident.[AI generated]
