George R.R. Martin, John Grisham and other major authors sue OpenAI, alleging "systematic theft" (2 minute read)
OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with prominent authors such as George R.R. Martin, John Grisham, and Elin Hilderbrand. The lawsuit contends that OpenAI utilized the books written by these authors in its "large language models," allegedly breaching copyright laws and conducting widespread unauthorized data use. This legal action was initiated in the Southern District of New York, representing the Authors Guild and 17 established writers, including Scott Turow, Jodi Picoult, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, and George Saunders. OpenAI has yet to offer a formal response to the allegations. The case exemplifies an ongoing legal challenge concerning OpenAI's data collection and utilization methods for developing the algorithm powering ChatGPT. This technology relies on large language models (LLMs) that undergo training with extensive amounts of textual and data inputs. The lawsuit argues that ChatGPT and its underlying LLMs pose a significant threat to the financial well-being of authors, including the plaintiffs, as their works were used in training these AIs without their consent.
