Meta may have used books by Gerry Adams to train AI

Over 1,600 authors reported their works were used without consent by Meta, which includes over 9,000 Australian books and translations, according to Lucy Hayward.
Gabrielle Tozer's works benefit Meta without her consent or payment, highlighting concerns among authors about AI's impact on their livelihoods.
Hayward emphasized the need for new laws to ensure that big tech pays authors when using their works for training AI, advocating for a fair revenue split.
The report suggests that payment mechanisms should be established to compensate creatives affected by AI-generated material, as noted by Hayward.
