"Judge Partially Dismisses Sarah Silverman's Copyright Lawsuit Against OpenAI"

A federal judge in California has partially dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought by authors including Sarah Silverman and Michael Chabon against OpenAI over the alleged use of their books to train the ChatGPT chatbot. The judge granted most of OpenAI's motion to dismiss the claims, rejecting arguments that the AI's output infringes copyrights and unjustly enriches the company. The court has yet to address the broader question of whether tech companies' unauthorized use of internet-scraped material to train AI infringes copyrights on a large scale. OpenAI and other companies argue that their AI training is protected by fair use, while the authors have been given permission to file an amended complaint.
