Sarah Silverman Files Lawsuit Against Meta, OpenAI <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meta and OpenAI allegedly used the plaintiffs' content without permission to train their respective artificial intelligence (AI) systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the court documents filed against Meta, many of the plaintiffs' copyright-protected books are included in the dataset “Meta has admitted to using to train LLaMA.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, in the case against OpenAI<\/a>, it is alleged that when ChatGPT generates summaries of the plaintiffs' work, it indicates that they were trained using copyrighted content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe summaries get some details wrong. This is expected since a large language model mixes together expressive material derived from many sources. Still, the rest of the summaries are accurate\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuits allege that the companies retrieved the copyrighted data from so-called “shadow libraries,” such as Bibliotik, Library Genesis, Z-Library, and others, to obtain this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the lawsuit, these shadow libraries are websites that utilize torrent systems to make books “available in bulk.” Such websites are illegal and distinct from open-source data from databases such as Gutenberg, which accumulates books with expired copyrights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThese shadow libraries have long been of interest to the AI-training community because of the large quantity of copyrighted material they host.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In addition to their claims of copyright infringement, the authors filed the complaint on behalf of a class of copyright owners across the United States whose works were also allegedly infringed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May, members of the Writers Guild of America\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> across the United States participated in a legal strike – the first in 15 years – that highlighted many issues facing the industry, including the use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
