A Message From the Editor Good morning. Copyright infringement litigation against AI companies continues to surge, with 24 cases filed to date. Rather than waiting for a hodgepodge of rulings on fair use, one nonprofit, Fairly Trained, has taken to certifying AI tools and LLMs that are trained without infringing on copyright. The only LLM to receive the certification so far is the legal LLM KL3M from 273 Ventures.
Meanwhile, however, many LLM creators are citing investor pressure to push forward with data scraping to train models without concern for the ethical implications, purely in pursuit of faster results. In today's featured article, LTN's Isha Marathe takes a nuanced look at the competing pressures, and what it takes to obtain a Fairly Trained certification. – Stephanie Wilkins, Editor-in-Chief, Legaltech News |
