Authors Sue OpenAI and Microsoft for Unauthorized Use of Books in Training AI Models

Authors Basbanes and Gage have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging the unauthorized use of their books to train AI models. They claim that their copyrights were violated when their works were incorporated into OpenAI’s GPT language model without proper authorization or compensation. This legal action highlights the growing trend of writers accusing technology companies of utilizing their work to train AI programs. The unauthorized use of copyrighted material has become a contentious issue, and clearer guidelines and regulations are needed to protect the rights of content creators in the digital age. The outcome of the lawsuit remains uncertain as Microsoft and OpenAI have yet to respond to the complaint.
