Study: Meta AI model can reproduce almost half of Harry Potter book

Meta's Llama 3.1 model can reproduce 42% of the first Harry Potter book, raising significant copyright concerns. This memorization by AI models has implications for generative AI companies facing lawsuits over using copyrighted material. The study by Stanford, Cornell, and WVU suggests substantial verbatim replication isn't just fringe behavior, complicating legal defenses based on fair use. Open-weight models like Llama might face greater legal scrutiny compared to closed-weight models due to transparency and evidence availability.
