Authors Sue OpenAI and Microsoft Over AI Copyright

Two veteran Greek-American journalists, Nicholas Gage and Nicholas Basbanes, have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that their lifetime of work was misused by AI chatbot ChatGPT without permission or compensation. Gage, known for his memoir 'Eleni,' and Basbanes, a literary culture author, seek justice for the uncredited use of their written content. The lawsuit, part of a broader case involving renowned authors, claims that OpenAI and Microsoft trained AI chatbots like ChatGPT using human writings without proper authorization. The legal action aims to protect writers' intellectual property rights and ensure fair compensation for their work, resonating with similar copyright claims from other media outlets. The case underscores the ethical concerns surrounding AI's use of human-generated content without adequate attribution or consent.
