00:00 A trade group for American authors sues OpenAI in a Manhattan federal court on behalf of
00:05 prominent writers including John Grisham, Jody Biko, and Game of Thrones novelist George
00:10 R. R. Martin.
00:11 The authors accuse of OpenAI unlawfully training its popular artificial intelligence-based
00:16 chatbot ChatGPT on their work.
00:19 The proposed class-action lawsuit by the Authors Guild joins several others from writers, source
00:24 code owners, and visual artists against generative AI providers.
00:28 In addition to OpenAI, similar lawsuits are pending against Meta and Stability AI over
00:33 the data used to train their AI systems.
00:36 OpenAI and other AI defendants say the use of training data scrapped from the internet
00:40 qualifies as fair use under the U.S. copyright law.
00:44 The complaint says ChatGPT generated accurate summaries of the authors' books when prompted
00:49 to do so, which indicated that their texts are included in its database.
