Meta Platforms Faces Copyright Allegations; Scale AI Hit with Third Lawsuit Over Disturbing Prompts from Six Individuals

Meta Platforms is currently facing allegations of utilizing pirated versions of copyrighted books to train its artificial intelligence systems. Concurrently, Scale AI is embroiled in legal troubles, facing its third lawsuit in about a month. The latest lawsuit involves six individuals who worked on Scale AI's Outlier platform, claiming they were coerced into creating disturbing prompts related to violence and abuse. This lawsuit marks the second class-action suit against Scale AI within a short time frame. The company, which specializes in labeling training data for machine-learning models, is also accused of failing to safeguard the mental health of contractors tasked with managing harmful interactions with AI models.
