AI Training on Copyrighted Data Now Legally Allowed? 🚀

Two landmark copyright rulings against Meta and Anthropic ruled that AI companies can train models on copyrighted data without paying original creators royalties.

We'll break down the court cases against Meta and Anthropic, and the two legal defenses and loopholes they used to win.

Also this week, we'll cover Palantir's $800 million government contract to expand real-time AI surveillance through their Maven Smart System, the impacts of President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill on AI including a newly enforced 5-year moratorium on state AI laws, Anthropic's research on AI+Human companionship, and an AI-powered fashion app that visualizes clothes on virtual avatars.
