Dos fallos judiciales en EE.UU. han favorecido a empresas de Silicon Valley en casos relacionados con el uso de obras protegidas por copyright para entrenar modelos de inteligencia artificial (IA). En el caso más significativo, el juez consideró que el uso de millones de libros por Anthropic para desarrollar su IA Claude constituye 'uso legítimo', ya que es transformador y no simplemente una copia. Sin embargo, el juez dejó la puerta abierta a posibles responsabilidades por piratería, dado que Anthropic inicialmente utilizó material sin pagar antes de adquirirlo legalmente. En un caso separado, Meta ganó frente a trece autores que la denunciaron por uso no autorizado de sus obras; el juez determinó que no se presentó evidencia suficiente de perjuicio económico, aunque aclaró que la sentencia no legaliza la práctica general de entrenar IAs con material protegido sin consentimiento. Ambos fallos son limitados a los casos concretos, pero podrían influir en futuras decisiones jurídicas respecto al copyright y la IA. Hasta ahora, solo existía una sentencia menor en un caso similar entre Thomson Reuters y Ross, que fue desfavorable al 'uso legítimo' y está en apelación.

Texas slams the brakes on data centres - and the AI buildout's easiest frontier just closed

Governor Greg Abbott announced that all new Texas data-centre projects must be audited by the Public Utility Commission and grid operator ERCOT - a sharp turn for a state whose loose regulation and cheap power made it second only to Virginia for data centres. The trigger is a staggering queue: ERCOT's interconnection requests doubled from 233GW in January to 474GW, about 90% data centres, more than five times the grid's all-time peak demand. Audits will demand power and water use, noise mitigation, light controls, tax-incentive use, and ownership details - after a voluntary survey that most operators simply ignored.

Apple sues OpenAI for trade-secret theft - alleging the scheme ran 'at every level'

Apple sued OpenAI in federal court in Northern California for trade secret theft and breach of contract, alleging former Apple employees took confidential material to benefit OpenAI's consumer hardware ambitions - and that the misconduct was directed by senior leadership, running, in Apple's words, from members of technical staff to the Chief Hardware Officer. Specific claims include an engineer who allegedly kept an Apple laptop and downloaded confidential documents, and OpenAI allegedly using Apple's proprietary metal-finishing technique by misleading a shared supplier into believing it had permission. IO Products is also named. OpenAI says it has no interest in others' trade secrets.

AWS just published the ROI case for GraphRAG: drug research cycles cut by 87%

An AWS GraphRAG deployment in pharmaceutical research cut R&D cycles by 87% - initial discovery that took six months now closes in three weeks - by fusing siloed internal databases and public literature into one queryable knowledge graph on Amazon Neptune Analytics and Bedrock (running Claude). Every answer comes with verifiable citations and a mapped reasoning path, which is exactly what regulated industries need for compliance. The architecture is modular and, crucially, transferable: any enterprise drowning in fragmented legacy data can copy this pattern.
