Judge Largely Rejects Sarah Silverman's Lawsuit Against OpenAI Over ChatGPT's Use of Copyrighted Works
-
Sarah Silverman and other authors are suing OpenAI over ChatGPT, claiming copyright infringement. A judge largely rejected their claims.
-
The authors argue that training AI systems on copyrighted books violates the law. OpenAI says this falls under fair use.
-
The judge ruled that the authors failed to show ChatGPT outputs contain copies of their works or are substantially similar.
-
Letting these kinds of lawsuits proceed could seriously hamper AI development. More legal battles over AI and copyright are likely.
-
Unlike the authors, some experts argue AI should be allowed to read and learn from documents on the open internet, just like humans do.
