Abstract

The article discusses a class action lawsuit against OpenAI initiated by the Authors Guild, which includes prominent authors such as George R.R. Martin and Jodi Picoult. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI has trained its generative AI systems on copyrighted material without authorization, violating the Copyright Act. The authors demand the right to control the use of their works for AI training and seek appropriate compensation if they choose to opt in. The article also highlights concerns regarding OpenAI's ability to address past training data issues and the implications of privacy regulations in the EU, particularly in relation to user control over personal information.
