Judge Vince Chhabria ruled that authors failed to make a key argument but also said "it seems like plaintiffs will often win" in future copyright cases like the one against Meta.

A federal judge let Meta off the hook for the use of books to train its artificial intelligence model, but it still might face legal challenges by the authors in other ways.

Federal Judge Vince Chhabria has ruled in favor of Meta over the 13 book authors who sued the company for training its large language model on their published work without obtaining consent.
