Authors Sue OpenAI Claiming Mass Copyright Infringement of Hundreds of Thousands of Novels

Courts are wrestling with the legality of using copyrighted works to train AI systems.

The proposed class action filed in San Francisco federal court on Wednesday alleges that OpenAI “relied on harvesting mass quantities” of copyright-protected works “without consent, without credit, and without compensation.” It seeks a court order that the company infringed on writers’ works when it illegally downloaded copies of novels to train its AI system and that ChatGPT’s answers constitute infringement.
