NEW YORK: John Grisham, Jodi Picoult and George R.R. Martin are among the 17 authors suing OpenAI for systematic theft on a mass scale, the latest in a wave of legal action by writers concerned that artificial intelligence (AI) programs are using their copyrighted works without permission.

ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a chatbot that was launched by Sam Altman's OpenAI in November 2022.

In papers filed Tuesday in federal court in New York, the authors alleged “flagrant and harmful infringements of plaintiffs’ registered copyrights” and called the ChatGPT program a “massive commercial enterprise” that is reliant upon “systematic theft on a mass scale.”

OpenAI faces another lawsuit concerning its use of copyrighted materials. OpenAI is hit with lawsuit after lawsuit. The company just had its lawsuit regarding privacy concerns dismissed, and it already faced more legal actions prior.

“Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin, Jodi Picoult, John Grisham are part of a group of famous writers who have slapped OpenAI with a lawsuit – alleging the company built its popular ChatGPT service in part by using their books without permission.

More than two thirds of jobs are vulnerable to AI, with white collar jobs likely to be worse affected, a new report has found.

The suit was organized by the Authors Guild and also includes David Baldacci, Sylvia Day, Jonathan Franzen and Elin Hilderbrand among others.
