Last year a group of authors sued OpenAI for allegedly using their work to train AI models without permission. This is seen as an infringement of intellectual property which may cause OpenAI to pay damages to the author. However, judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin of California dismissed the lawsuit filed by writers such as Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates.
The judge said the plaintiff failed to prove that the output produced by OpenAI through their service was exactly the same as the content in the published book. This failure renders the case inadmissible. The only suit that can be pursued is about anti-competitive customers because OpenAI uses the author's work to make a profit through the services offered.
The plaintiffs have now been given until March 13 to amend their arguments and re-file their case against OpenAI. This is just one of several lawsuits filed against OpenAI. They are also facing a lawsuit filed by the New York Times also due to the alleged use of intellectual property without permission.
