Two separate lawsuits are being filed against OpenAI, a non-profit research company, alleging copyright infringement and privacy violations. In the first lawsuit filed by a group of authors, it is claimed that OpenAI used their novels without permission to train its AI Chatbot, ChatGPT. The allegations coming from the authors are that ChatGPT’s ability to generate summaries of their novels is only possible because it was trained on their copyrighted works. In the second lawsuit, filed by a group of internet users, it is alleged that Open AI scraped their data without their consent to train its AI models. The plaintiffs allege that Open AI’s use of their data violates their privacy rights and that the company has failed to take adequate steps to protect their data from misuse.
OpenAI has not yet responded to the lawsuits. The group of authors who filed the copyright infringement lawsuit includes Paul Tremblay and Mona Awad. M. Night Shyamalan adapted Tremblay’s novel into a movie known as “The Cabin at the End of the World.” The novel “Bunny”, written by Awad, was a finalist for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction. Damages are being sought by the authors for copyright infringement, as well as an injunction preventing Open AI from using their works in the future. A group of internet users, including John Doe and Jane Doe, filed a privacy violation lawsuit. The plaintiffs allegation is that OpenAI scraped their personal data without their knowledge or consent to train its AI models. It is claimed by the plaintiffs that OpenAI collected their data without consent. OpenAI scraped the personal data from a variety of sources, including social media platforms, online forums, and public records.
