17 well-known writers, including renowned novelist George R.R. Martin, have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against OpenAI, saying that the AI model ChatGPT violates their copyright. The Authors Guild, a New York-based organization. Launched a complaint against ChatGPT, alleging “flagrant and harmful infringements of plaintiffs’ registered copyrights.”
According to the lawsuit, ChatGPT developed using content from books that illegally downloaded from online book repositories. The plaintiffs in the complaint contend that OpenAI had other choices besides engaging in “systematic theft on a mass scale,” such as training its language models on texts in the public domain or acquiring licenses for works protected by copyright.
Maya Shanbhag Lang, head of the Authors Guild and one of the plaintiffs, stressed the importance of this legal action. “This case is just the start of our fight to protect authors from theft by OpenAI and other generative AI,” she said. Our team, which includes an outstanding legal group, is knowledgeable with copyright law. All of this is to suggest that we did not bring this outfit carelessly. We’re here to battle.
OpenAI has stated its openness to have a productive conversation in response to the complaint. “We are having fruitful conversations with creators, including the Authors Guild. Have been working cooperatively to understand and discuss their concerns about AI,” a corporate spokeswoman said. We are certain that we will keep collaborating in ways that are advantageous to both parties.
Following two identical complaints that made against OpenAI by the authors Paul Tremblay and comedian Sarah Silverman, legal action has now been taken. It is unclear how this legal dispute will affect the usage of AI language models in the creative sector as the litigation develop.
