Authors are filing class action lawsuits against artificial intelligence companies, Meta and OpenAI, for copyright infringement. They accuse the companies of using their books without permission to train AI systems and seek court orders to destroy the AI systems trained on their copyrighted works. OpenAI is facing a lawsuit from authors Paul Tremblay and Sarah Silverman, claiming that evidence suggests their books were used to train the AI system. The lawsuit against Meta alleges that their AI language model produces infringing derivative works. The authors are claiming direct copyright infringement, violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and more.
