Please provide a description.The Multi-LexSum dataset was curated to facilitate the development of automaticsummarization methods for civil rights lawsuits.Recent advances in document summarization have led to impressive results in generating ashort description for passages typically in hundreds of words.

The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, took Anthony Rotondo to court in 2023 after he replied to a removal notice, saying it meant nothing to him as he was not an Australian resident.

Watchdog applauds'strong message' after federal court orders Gold Coast man Anthony Rotondo to pay for posting deepfake images to a now-defunct website Fri 26 Sep 2025 06.02 EDTLast modified on Fri 26 Sep 2025 06.21 EDT A man who posted deepfake pornographic images of prominent Australian women has been slapped with a hefty fine as a "strong message" in a first-of-its-kind case. The federal court ordered Anthony Rotondo, also known as Antonio, to pay a $343,500 penalty plus costs on Friday after the online regulator eSafety Commissioner brought a case against him almost two years ago. Rotondo admitted to posting the images on a website called MrDeepFakes.com,

The complaint, filed in July, alleges Meta has been torrenting and seeding Strike 3's videos since 2018. Associated exhibits and details of the complaint were unsealed last week. Strike 3 alleges Meta's motive was partly to obtain otherwise difficult to scrape visual angles, parts of the human body, and extended, uninterrupted scenes--rare in mainstream movies and TV--to help it create what Mark Zuckerberg calls AI "superintelligence." "They have an interest in getting our content because it can give them a competitive advantage for the quality, fluidity, and humanity of the AI," alleges Christian Waugh, an attorney for Strike 3. This process made Strike 3's porn videos accessible to minors, the complaint alleges, since BitTorrent does not have age verification.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI has sued Apple and ChatGPT maker OpenAI, accusing them of illegally conspiring to thwart competition for artificial intelligence (AI). The lawsuit filed in a United States federal court in Texas on Monday says that Apple and OpenAI have "locked up markets to maintain their monopolies and prevent innovators like X and xAI from competing". The complaint filed by the billionaire said Apple and OpenAI conspired to suppress xAI's products, including on the Apple App Store. "If not for its exclusive deal with OpenAI, Apple would have no reason to refrain from more prominently featuring the X app and the Grok app in its App Store," xAI said. The lawsuit pointed out that in June 2024, Apple and OpenAI announced they would integrate ChatGPT into Apple's operating system under an exclusive arrangement.

Two summers ago, the Santa Monica-based company behind the popular video game "Call of Duty" sent a letter to a 24-year-old man in Antioch, Tenn., who went by the online handle "Lerggy." Known in real life as Ryan Rothholz, court filings say, he is the creator of "Lergware," hacking software that enabled Call of Duty players to cheat by kicking opponents offline. A lawsuit filed in May against Rothholz and others allegedly involved in the hacking scheme is the latest salvo in years-long campaign by Activision-Blizzard and other companies to rid their games of cheating. The war is being waged in the Central District of California civil courts, but the defendants are scattered across the country and as far away as Australia. An immersive "first-person shooter" game, Call of Duty takes players into simulated, realistic military combat.

Reasoning abilities of LLMs have been a key focus in recent years. One challenging reasoning domain with interesting nuances is legal reasoning, which requires careful application of rules, and precedents while balancing deductive and analogical reasoning, and conflicts between rules. Although there have been a few works on using LLMs for legal reasoning, their focus has been on overall accuracy. In this paper, we dig deeper to do a step-by-step analysis and figure out where they commit errors. We use the college-level Multiple Choice Question-Answering (MCQA) task from the \textit{Civil Procedure} dataset and propose a new error taxonomy derived from initial manual analysis of reasoning chains with respect to several LLMs, including two objective measures: soundness and correctness scores. We then develop an LLM-based automated evaluation framework to identify reasoning errors and evaluate the performance of LLMs. The computation of soundness and correctness on the dataset using the auto-evaluator framework reveals several interesting insights. Furthermore, we show that incorporating the error taxonomy as feedback in popular prompting techniques marginally increases LLM performance. Our work will also serve as an evaluation framework that can be used in detailed error analysis of reasoning chains for logic-intensive complex tasks.

Citing internal Meta communications, the filing claims that the social network company's chief executive backed the use of the LibGen dataset, a vast online archive of books, despite warnings within the company's AI executive team that it is a dataset "we know to be pirated". The internal message says that using a database containing pirated material could weaken the Facebook and Instagram owner's negotiations with regulators, according to the filing. "Media coverage suggesting we have used a dataset we know to be pirated, such as LibGen, may undermine our negotiating position with regulators." The authors sued Meta in 2023, arguing that the social media company misused their books to train Llama, the large language model that powers its chatbots. The Library Genesis, or LibGen, dataset is a "shadow library" that originated in Russia and claims to contain millions of novels, nonfiction books and science magazine articles.

Apple has agreed to pay 95m in cash to settle a proposed class-action lawsuit claiming that its voice-activated assistant Siri violated users' privacy, listening to them without their consent. A preliminary settlement was filed on Tuesday night in the Oakland, California, federal court, and requires approval by US district judge Jeffrey White. Voice assistants typically react when people use "hot words" such as "Hey, Siri". Two plaintiffs said their mentions of Air Jordan sneakers and Olive Garden restaurants triggered ads for those products. Another said he was served ads for a brand name surgical treatment after discussing it, he thought privately, with his doctor.

Elon Musk has filed another lawsuit against OpenAI and the company's CEO Sam Altman, two months after withdrawing a previous one. Musk once again alleges that OpenAI breached its founding commitments by putting commercial concerns ahead of the public good. This time around, though, the suit has been filed in federal court rather than in a state court. That's because the new filing alleges that OpenAI violated federal racketeering laws by conspiring to defraud Musk, according to his lawyer, Marc Toberoff. "The previous suit lacked teeth -- and I don't believe in the tooth fairy," Toberoff told The New York Times. "This is a much more forceful lawsuit."

The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), which publishes Mother Jones and Reveal, said on Thursday that it had filed the lawsuit accusing the tech firms of using its content without permission in a "rebuke to artificial intelligence and its exploitative practices". "OpenAI and Microsoft started vacuuming up our stories to make their product more powerful, but they never asked for permission or offered compensation, unlike other organisations that license our material," Monika Bauerlein, CEO of the Center for Investigative Reporting, said in a statement. The work of journalists, at CIR and everywhere, is valuable, and OpenAI and Microsoft know it." OpenAI and Microsoft did not immediately respond to requests for comment. OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot relies on vast quantities of information scraped from the internet, including news sites, to respond to users' queries.
