Sarah Silverman and Authors File Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Meta for AI Copyright Infringement

Comedian Sarah Silverman, along with authors Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey, are suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement. They claim that OpenAI's ChatGPT and Meta's LLaMA were trained on illegally-acquired datasets containing their works, obtained from "shadow library" websites. The authors allege that their books were summarized by the AI models without reproducing any copyright information. The lawsuits challenge the boundaries of copyright and seek statutory damages and restitution of profits.
