Multiple Parties File Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Meta

San Francisco, CA – Last week, American comedian Sarah Silverman, alongside authors Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden, raised allegations against the creators of ChatGPT, including OpenAI and Meta.

“The summaries [of their work] get some details wrong, but still shows that ChatGPT retains knowledge of particular works in the training dataset,” says the lawsuit. The plaintiffs seek compensation for copyright infringement.

The lawsuit is similar to the one brought earlier this year by Mona Awad and Paul Tremblay, who accused ChatGPT of “ingesting” their novels without their consent.

ChatGPT is known for self-supervised learning. During the training phase, large amounts of text data are fed into the model, allowing it to analyze and understand patterns, context, and relationships between words and sentences.

The incident has sparked heated discussions regarding AI ethics and its impact on copyright and intellectual property. Should AI developers pay special attention to whether datasets used to train AI systems are properly licensed or comprise non-copyrighted material? Meta and OpenAI have yet to respond to the request for comment.
