Investigation Reveals 200,000 Books Used Without Permission to Train AI, Outraging Many Authors

Almost 200,000 books are being used without permission to train AI systems by big tech companies. This was revealed through an investigation by The Atlantic.

Many authors like Mary H.K. Choi and Min Jin Lee are outraged and feel their personal stories and work were stolen.

Nora Roberts has the most books used in the training database, with 206. She called it "all kinds of wrong."

While some authors don't mind, many feel exploited and want compensation if their work is used to train profitable AI.

Writers are calling for unity to combat the unauthorized use of books and other creative work to train AI systems.
