British authors told Sky News they felt "absolutely sick" to find their books in a search tool for LibGen, a shadow library that a US lawsuit by Sarah Silverman and other authors alleges Meta used to develop its AI. Meta denies breaching copyright, says it made "fair use" of the material to train Llama 3, and argues the case should be thrown out.
Stellar Technologies, the company of software engineer Eliyahu Hawila, claims its facial-recognition tool NesherAI unmasked a woman at a January rally against Israel in New York, whose face and name then circulated online. Betar says some people on the list it submitted to the Trump administration urging deportations were identified with the tool; DHS says ICE is not working with Betar.
