Apple is facing serious legal heat but this time, it’s over how its AI may have been trained.
What Happened
Three YouTube channels: h3h3Productions, MrShortGame Golf, and Golfaholics have filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple, accusing it of using copyrighted videos without permission to train AI models.
Key Claims
- Apple allegedly used a dataset called Panda-70M
- The dataset reportedly includes millions of YouTube videos split into 70M clips
- Plaintiffs claim Apple bypassed protections, violating copyright laws
Creators argue their content was used commercially without consent or compensation.
Why It Matters
The lawsuit highlights growing tension around AI training data and creator rights especially as companies monetize AI features built on existing content.
