OpenAI has asked the court to reduce the number of lawsuits in a case involving ChatGPT's teaching on copyrighted books
OpenAI has asked a federal court in San Francisco to dismiss parts of two lawsuits from writers, including comedian Sarah Silverman, who accused the company of infringing on their copyrights.
Here's What We Know
OpenAI denies the authors' main claim that using their books to teach ChatGPT infringes copyright. However, the company did not ask the court to dismiss these claims.
OpenAI also denied the claim that the ChatGPT-generated text are "derivative works" of the books that indirectly infringe copyright. According to the company, the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that the chatbot's output was sufficiently similar to their work to prove their claims.
In addition, OpenAI asked the court to dismiss the authors' related complaints under state law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
