Amaka Nwaokocha12 hours agoOpenAI and Microsoft sued over alleged unauthorized use of authors’ workJulian Sancton, an author and Hollywood reporter, accuses Microsoft of being aware of OpenAI’s indiscriminate internet crawling for copyrighted material.1225 Total views25 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksOpenAI and Microsoft are facing a lawsuit alleging the improper use of nonfiction authors’ work to train AI models, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT service. Author and reporter Julian Sancton sued the companies on Nov. 21. 


According to Sancton’s complaint, OpenAI allegedly utilized tens of thousands of nonfiction books without authorization to train its extensive language models in responding to human text prompts. The author and Hollywood Reporter editor is leading a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in a New York federal court.


This legal action is among several initiated by copyright owners, such as authors John Grisham, George R.R. Martin and Jonathan Franzen, against OpenAI and other tech firms. The allegations involve the purported misuse of their work to train AI systems. The companies involved have refuted the claims.Screenshot of the lawsuit. Source: CourtListener


Sancton’s lawsuit emphasizes Microsoft’s involvement in generating unlicensed copies of authors’ works for training data and the development of generative pre-trained transformer-based technology. Sancton also accuses Microsoft of being aware of OpenAI’s indiscriminate internet crawling for copyrighted material.


The lawsuit comes amid an unexpected move by Microsoft, which hired Sam Altman to head its new AI division after his removal from OpenAI. In a surprise turnaround, on Nov. 22, OpenAI announced a new agreement that would see Altman return as CEO. The company confirmed the deal in a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account. 


Although OpenAI faces multiple copyright infringement suits, Microsoft has largely escaped scrutiny despite introducing a range of products integrated with ChatGPT.


Sancton’s legal action marks the first time an author has sued OpenAI while naming Microsoft as a defendant. With substantial investments in the AI startup, Microsoft has incorporated OpenAI’s systems into its product offerings.

Sancton’s legal action claims OpenAI utilized nonfiction books, including his work Madhouse at the End of the Earth, to train its GPT large language models. The complaint alleges Microsoft’s substantial involvement in model development, holding the company accountable for copyright infringement. Sancton is seeking unspecified monetary damages and a court order to halt the alleged infringement.
