OpenAI And Microsoft are currently involved in a legal dispute and are facing allegations abuse the works of non-fiction authors to train artificial intelligence (AI) models, including OpenAI’s well-known chatbot, ChatGPT.
The lawsuit, a proposed class action filed in federal court in Manhattan and led by author and Hollywood Reporter publisher Julian Sancton, alleges that OpenAI unlawfully copied tens of thousands of nonfiction books without proper authorization.
Sancton claims that this unauthorized use was intended to train large language models capable of generating responses to human text input.
During the training process, AI models are typically trained using large datasets that include texts from various sources such as books, articles, and websites. These data sets are used to convey the patterns, context, and information of the model language.
The model adjusts its parameters based on the patterns observed in the training data, enabling the generation of texts that resemble human language. This training approach allows AI models to understand and reproduce the structure and style of finished written work.
While this lawsuit is one of many filed against OpenAI, notable figures such as John Grisham, George RR Martin and Jonathan Franzen have also raised concerns about the AI company. However, this particular case is unique because both companies are involved as defendants.
Microsoft and OpenAI have formed a long-term partnership focused on advancing AI research and making AI technology more accessible to everyone. Through this collaboration, Microsoft has made a significant, multi-year, multi-billion dollar investment to accelerate AI breakthroughs and ensure that the benefits of AI are widespread.
The partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft includes AI supercomputing, research and independent commercialization of advanced AI technologies. Microsoft plans to increase its investment in specialized supercomputing systems to accelerate OpenAI’s groundbreaking AI research.
Both OpenAI and Microsoft have not commented on the allegations. Attorney Justin Nelson, representing Pierre Sancton, claims that despite the significant value of their AI platform, OpenAI and Microsoft are engaging in widespread appropriation of copyrighted works by failing to compensate nonfiction authors.
Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that OpenAI used non-fiction books such as “Madhouse at the End of the Earth” by Pierre Sancton to train its GPT language models. The author demands compensation and calls on the court to stop the proceedings.
