Nonfiction Authors File Copyright Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Microsoft

A group of nonfiction authors has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI, alleging that the companies trained their AI ChatGPT tool to copy their work without permission or compensation. The authors claim that while Microsoft and OpenAI have profited from their AI products, they have not paid nonfiction authors for their copied works. The lawsuit accuses the companies of copyright infringement and states that they have reproduced millions, if not billions, of copyrighted works without authorization. The complaint also highlights the close collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI in creating and using AI-powered products. The authors are seeking damages and injunctive relief.

OpenAI and Microsoft face copyright lawsuit over alleged AI training infringement

OpenAI and Microsoft are facing a new copyright lawsuit filed by author Julian Sancton, who claims that the companies misused the work of nonfiction authors to train their AI models, including OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT. Sancton alleges that OpenAI copied tens of thousands of nonfiction books without permission, while Microsoft is accused of being "deeply involved" in training and developing the models. This is the first author lawsuit against OpenAI to also name Microsoft as a defendant. The lawsuit is part of a series of similar cases brought by copyright owners against tech companies over the alleged misuse of their work to train AI systems. Both OpenAI and Microsoft have denied the allegations.
