On March 12, French organizations representing publishers and authors announced they were suing Facebook-owner Meta after their publications were used to train generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

Three groups, including the SNE publishing organization group; the authors group; the SGDL and SNAC musician groups, complained about Meta's behavior of using a series of copyrighted works without the permission of the authors and publishers.

In a statement, SNE group leader Vincent Montagne stressed that the complainants had identified that the database used by Facebook's owners contained the content of many works written and published by SNE members.

SGDL head Christophe Hardy said that through this lawsuit in the Paris court, the plaintiff hopes that AI developers need to respect the legal framework. In the case of using copyrighted content, they need to consider paying royalties.

French publishers and authors have not publicly disclosed information estimating the damage Meta has caused them.

Meanwhile, Facebook's owner admitted to using the Books3 database, which contains the full text of about 200,000 books, including some in French, to train its large language model Llama./.
