Apple Sued Over AI Training on Copyrighted Books

Apple Sued Over AI Training on Copyrighted Books

Two authors, Grady Hendrix and Jennifer Roberson, are suing Apple.

They claim Apple used their books, and others, to train its new AI, called Apple Intelligence, without asking for permission.

Apple allegedly used a web scraper to find these books in online libraries that contained illegal copies.

The authors say Apple didn't pay them or give them credit for using their work.

This is similar to another case where a company paid a lot of money for doing the same thing.

The authors want to stop Apple from using their work without their consent and getting paid.
