Authors Sue Nvidia Over AI Use of Copyrighted Works

Nvidia is being sued by three authors who claim the company used their copyrighted books without permission to train its NeMo AI platform. The authors are seeking unspecified damages for people in the United States whose works helped train NeMo's large language models in the last three years. Nvidia's NeMo platform was taken down in October due to reported copyright infringement, and the authors allege that Nvidia admitted to training NeMo on the dataset, thereby infringing their copyrights. This lawsuit adds Nvidia to a growing body of litigation over generative AI, which creates new content based on various inputs.
