The stage is beginning to be set for a high-profile lawsuit. Recently a group of prominent authors has joined in a class action lawsuit that alleges that OpenAI uses products like ChatGPT to infringe on their copyrighted works. The lawsuit features plaintiffs such as George R.R. Martin and Jodi Picoult.

In response, a spokesperson for Open AI said “Creative professionals around the world use ChatGPT as part of their creative process. We respect the rights of writers and authors, and believe they should benefit from AI technology.” The spokesperson also indicated that they had been having what they described as productive conversations with many creators including the Authors Guild.

James Grimmelmann, a professor of digital and information law at Cornell University told ABC News that this appears to be a well-drafted complaint and further stated “If anyone is going to win on the straight-up copyright infringement claims against OpenAI, this is probably the lawsuit that has the best chance of it.”

The lawsuit could have major implications for the AI Industry and it may allow us to learn more about the process in which these AI programs learn and change depending on how much access the court allows in the discovery process.

Depending on which side is victorious in this lawsuit will have a major impact on content creators and the growing AI industry.
