Books3 was uploaded in 2020 by AI developer Sean Presser and has since been hosted by large-scale repository The Eye. Mr. Presser reported, ``The development goal of Books3 was to allow anyone to create an AI model comparable to ChatGPT.'' ``It's important to be able to create your own ChatGPT-like AI model in case ChatGPT goes offline for some reason or faces a lawsuit,'' he said. Suppose you wanted to train a world-class GPT model, just like OpenAI. How? You have no data. Now you do. Now everyone does.

Amid growing concerns about copyright infringement on AI, the Rights Alliance has requested The Eye to remove Books3 based on Digital Millennium Copyright Act infringement. ``It is very important to prevent AI from being trained with pirated and illegal content,'' said Maria Fredenslund, director of the Rights Alliance. There is a significant challenge not only to detect and remove illegal AI training datasets, but also to deal with AI that has been trained on illegal content and is now prevalent on the internet.” The Eye removed the Books3 dataset following a removal request from the Rights Alliance.

In addition to requesting the deletion of Books 3 to The Eye, the Rights Alliance is asking Meta to respond to Books 3. ``It is unlikely that Meta will retrain LLaMA to eliminate concerns about copyright infringement,'' said Gizmodo, a technology news media. ``AI developers and development companies need a framework to always share details such as the training data used to create the AI model,'' Fredenslund said.
