Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Ever since chatbots like OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT or Google\u2019s Bard were \u201clet loose,\u201d there have been warnings of lawsuits over potential legal risks faced by developers of AI-powered language models, as the tech is trained to deliver authentic responses to user prompts.<\/p>\n

OpenAI is being sued by a stand-up comedian and a spate of authors who have accused the company of violating copyright laws. Class-action lawsuits were filed in the federal court of San Francisco on July 7, according to US media reports.<\/p>\n

Comedian Sarah Silverman, and writers Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden claim their published books were used for training the artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT without their consent.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Paul Tremblay, author of the 2018 novel, \u201cThe Cabin at the End of the World,\u201d and novelist Mona Awad, also filed legal action against OpenAI, contending that ChatGPT \u201cingested\u201d material from their copyrighted work without their permission.<\/p>\n

This comes as the Authors Guild earlier urged chief executives of AI companies to \u201cobtain permission\u201d from writers before using their copyrighted work to train generative AI programs. The US-based advocacy group insisted in their open letter that writers ought to be \u201ccompensated fairly. \u201d<\/p>\n

As conversational generative artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT become the fastest-growing applications in history, people working in the creative field, like authors, have been voicing concern.<\/p>\n

The worries about how the technology could impact their careers are increasingly being manifested into legal suits, with experts warning that copyright cases against generative AI tools can be expected to continue.<\/p>\n
