In April 2024 Eric Schmidt advised Stanford students to download copyrighted material to build AI prototypes, reflecting a Silicon Valley attitude amid at least 19 lawsuits against generative-AI firms. Reporting shows OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta trained models on books, videos, and other works while invoking fair use and simultaneously forbidding reuse of their outputs. The tension raises legal risks and pushes calls for licensing or compensation for creators.
