OpenAI and Meta sued by comedian for copyright infringement - but who's gonna have the last laugh?

Comedian Sarah Silverman, as well as 2 authors are suing OpenAI and ChatGPT for copyright infringement.

What's the key learning?

  • Sarah Silverman reckons that when AI systems are summarising her work, they are infringing on her copyrights.
  • Sarah and the two authors claim that their works were illegally accessed from "shadow libraries".
  • The intersection of AI and copyright law is a legal minefield waiting to explode.

👉 Background: AI platforms like ChatGPT and Meta's LLaMA are trained on large volumes of text data. We're talking 170 trillion parameters - so it has taken data from everywhere... probably including your Year 7 journal.

👉 What happened: Comedian Sarah Silverman, as well as 2 authors are suing OpenAI and ChatGPT for copyright infringement. They say that the AI platforms were trained on data sets containing their works. And these works were illegally accessed from "shadow libraries".

👉 What else: Silverman reckons that by AI systems summarising her work, the AI bots are infringing on her copyrights.

What's the key learning?

💡The intersection of AI and copyright law is a legal minefield waiting to explode.

💡One could argue that the AI platforms are not stealing... they're just processing, analysing, or summarising materials. But, some of these materials are copyrighted.

💡It's not just books - it also extends to music, movies, and images. So, the outcome of this case could shape the future of AI, creativity, and copyright law as we know it.
