OpenAI and its financial supporter Microsoft have faced a new class action lawsuit by two US-based nonfiction authors for copyright infringement. Filed in a Manhattan federal court, the lawsuit claims that the two authors' works were improperly utilised by the companies to train the AI models behind ChatGPT and other AI-driven services.
This echoes a string of similar legal actions taken by writers such as Sarah Silverman and George R.R. Martin against tech firms for alleged misuse of their work in training AI programs.
