Legal Complexity of AI Training on Copyrighted Books

The legality of training AI models on copyrighted books is a complex issue, as highlighted by recent legal cases. A notable ruling by Judge William Alsup found Anthropic's AI training lawful, penalizing the company for using pirated books rather than the act of training itself.
