Comedian Sarah Silverman files copyright infringement lawsuits against Meta and OpenAI

Per Reuters

Comedian Sarah Silverman is filing lawsuits against both Meta and OpenAI for the lack of consent regarding using her content to train AI language models.  The lawsuit against Meta provided information on how information was used to train the company's artificial intelligence without consent.

Sarah Silverman joins two other authors in the lawsuit, Christopher Golden and Richard Kandrey. The three allege that copyright material was used without consent for the chatbot's training.

The allegations point directly toward the use of their books without consent, with the lawsuit sharing how ChatGPT still had particular knowledge of how its training dataset works. The lawsuit was reportedly seeking an undisclosed amount for the damages caused on behalf of copyright owners who've also had their works used without their consent.

At the start of the year, AI art company Stability AI received a lawsuit from Getty Images regarding the use of copyrighted images. The allegations against the AI art tool were that it used copyrighted images without ever getting any licensing.

In April, voice actors shared how they were shocked to find that AI could replicate their speech and tone, describing how they feared how this type of artificial intelligence technology could result in them losing their jobs.
