Grammarly Faces Class Action Over AI Expert Reviews Credited to Names Without Consent
Grammarly’s AI feature ‘Expert Review’ credited edits to famous authors and academics without their consent, prompting a federal class-action in SDNY led by Julia Angwin. The suit, alleging misuse of hundreds of names for profit and citing New York and California rights to name and likeness, seeks damages over $5 million. Superhuman has disabled the feature while it rethinks it and gives experts control over representation, highlighting concerns about AI-generated endorsements and rights of individuals.
