Digital Watch reports that tech giants are under increasing scrutiny for allegedly using pirated literary works to train large language models. Authors, publishers, and digital rights organizations are demanding transparency, consent, and fair compensation for the use of copyrighted materials.

The controversy revolves around undisclosed data sources used to build AI models, with particular concern for how these practices violate global copyright laws. Critics argue that using entire books without permission undermines the intellectual labor of authors and breaches data protection principles.

Legal experts suggest regulatory intervention may be required to enforce ethical AI training standards.
