The actress is suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement

American comedian Sarah Silverman, as well as novelists Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey, have filed lawsuits against OpenAI and Meta.

Here's What We Know

The group alleges that the companies trained their large language models on copyrighted material, including their published works, without obtaining consent.

The complaints relate to datasets that OpenAI and Meta allegedly used to train ChatGPT and LLaMA. For example, Silverman asked the chatbot to summarise her memoir The Bedwetter, published in 2010. The AI was able to not only summarise the book, but also reproduce some portions of it.

The plaintiffs have demanded that the companies compensate an unnamed amount on behalf of the intellectual property owners whose rights were violated in the development of the large language models.
