A growing number of non-fiction authors, including Nicholas A. Basbanes and Nicholas Gage, are suing OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that their copyrighted works were used without permission to train OpenAI's generative AI models. The plaintiffs claim this constitutes "massive and deliberate theft" and are seeking damages and a permanent injunction. This follows similar lawsuits from other creatives, including fiction authors and The New York Times, against OpenAI for using their work in AI training. OpenAI has previously stated that they were in "productive conversations" with The New York Times before the lawsuit was filed.
