US EditionApple sued over use of copyrighted books to train Apple Intelligence
Neuroscientists allege Apple used pirated books to train its AI, including their own copyrighted works, in a case that highlights ongoing copyright disputes in AI development.
- On Thursday, Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen Macknik sued Apple in a California federal court alleging misuse of thousands of copyrighted books to train Apple Intelligence.
- Plaintiffs say Apple's training used unauthorized academic and proprietary materials, alleging proprietary texts and research papers were incorporated without consent; a separate group of authors sued Apple last month.

- The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages and an injunction to stop Apple from using their copyrighted work, while Apple has not publicly commented as spokespeople did not respond on Friday.
- On Jun 10, 2024, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence and the lawsuit notes a more than $200 billion one-day market gain, citing precedents like Anthropic's August $1.5 billion settlement.
