Zadie Smith and Stephen King books pirated to train AI

More than 170,000 titles were fed into models run by companies including Meta and Bloomberg, according to an analysis of Books3 - the dataset harnessed by the firms to build their AI tools.

Books3 was used to train Meta's LLAMA, one of a number of large language models - the best-known of which is OpenAI's ChatGPT-that can generate content based on patterns identified in sample texts. The dataset was also used to train Bloomberg's BloombergGPT and EleutherAl's GPT-J and it is "likely" it has been used in other Al models.
