Sarah Silverman Files Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Meta for Copyright Infringement

Comedian Sarah Silverman is suing OpenAI and Meta, alleging that her copyright has been infringed in the training of their AI systems, ChatGPT and LLaMa. The case against OpenAI claims that the authors' copyrighted materials were used without consent to train ChatGPT, while the case against Meta concerns the use of a dataset, which includes the authors' books, to train the LLaMa system. Legal experts suggest the outcome of the cases may hinge on whether training a large language model is considered fair use or not. This follows previous cases brought by programmers and artists against AI systems.
