Pulitzer-Winning Authors Sue OpenAI, Microsoft for Copyright Infringement

The authors allege their works were used without permission to train AI programs, marking an extension of an earlier lawsuit.

OpenAI and Microsoft are facing a lawsuit from a group of 11 nonfiction authors, including Pulitzer Prize winners, accusing the tech companies of copyright infringement.
The authors allege that their works were used without permission to train OpenAI's AI programs, including the popular chatbot ChatGPT.
The lawsuit is an extension of an earlier one filed by writer and Hollywood Reporter editor Julian Sancton, who first named Microsoft as a defendant.
The authors are seeking an unspecified amount in damages and an injunction to stop the alleged copyright infringement.
This lawsuit follows similar allegations made by comedian Sarah Silverman and other authors earlier this year against OpenAI and Meta Platforms Inc.
