ChatGPT sued for copyright infringement

Massachusetts writers Paul Tremblay and Mona Awad say ChatGPT mined data copied from thousands of books without permission, violating the authors' copyrights.

Several other lawsuits have recently been filed over data used to train advanced AI systems, with the suit’s targets arguing that copyrighted works were illegally exploited to do so.

ChatGPT became the fastest-growing consumer app in history earlier this year, hitting 100 million active users in January just two months after its launch.

ChatGPT and other general AI systems generate content using large amounts of data collected from the internet and other data sources. Tremblay and Awad's lawsuit says books are a "key ingredient" because they provide "the best examples of how to write high-quality long-form content."

The complaint estimates that OpenAI's AI chatbot training data incorporated more than 300,000 books, including from sources illegally supplying copyrighted titles.

Tremblay and Awad said ChatGPT was able to generate “very accurate” summaries of their books, and noted that they appeared in OpenAI’s database.
