A federal judge has ruled that the copyright lawsuit against Meta, initiated by authors alleging that the company violated intellectual property rights by using their books to train its LLaMA AI model, can proceed. This ruling comes after Meta's motion to dismiss the case was denied. As part of the ongoing legal challenges, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is required to undergo a multi-day deposition starting next Friday, where his testimony will be compared to previous statements made to the SEC and other board members regarding a $5 billion settlement.
