A group of writers is suing OpenAI over claims the company illegally used their works to train its AI ChatGPT chatbot, as reported earlier by Reuters.
In a lawsuit filed on Friday, Michael Chabon, David Henry Hwang, Rachel Louise Snyder, and Ayelet Waldman allege OpenAI benefits and profits from the “unauthorized and illegal use” of their copyrighted content.
The lawsuit is seeking class-action status and calls out ChatGPT’s ability to summarize and analyze the content written by the authors, stating this “is only possible” if OpenAI trained its GPT large language model on their works.
“OpenAI’s acts of copyright infringement have been intentional, willful, and in callous disregard of Plaintiffs’ and Class members’ rights,” the lawsuit claims.
In July, author and comedian Sarah Silverman joined writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey in a lawsuit accusing OpenAI and Meta of copyright infringement.
Additionally, this most recent lawsuit asks the court to stop OpenAI from engaging in “unlawful and unfair business practices” while awarding the authors damages related to copyright violations and other penalties.
