ChatGPT suspected of infringement? Pulitzer Prize winner sues artificial intelligence company
According to Reuters, several American writers, including Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chopin, have recently sued OpenAI in a federal court in San Francisco, accusing them of abusing their works to train ChatGPT.
According to reports, writers such as Michael Chopin, Hwang Zhelun, Matthew Clem, Rachel Louise Snyder, and Ayele Waldman have stated that OpenAI included their works in ChatGPT's training data without permission.
The lawsuit declares that works such as books, plays, and articles serve as "the best examples of high-quality long writing" and are particularly valuable for ChatGPT training. Writers believe that the system can accurately summarize their works and generate texts that mimic their style.
According to reports, several authors have filed a class action lawsuit against OpenAI for copyright infringement, and this lawsuit is at least the third. In addition, companies such as Microsoft, Meta, and StabilityAI that use copyrighted works for artificial intelligence training have also been similarly sued.
It is reported that OpenAI and other companies believe that AI training reasonably uses copyrighted materials captured from the Internet.
According to previous reports, best-selling authors Mona Awad, Paul Trenbrey, Sarah Silverman, and others have also filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that technology companies have injected the "text" of their books into generative artificial intelligence software known as large-scale language models without giving them any recognition or compensation.
