From Nasdaq:

OpenAI and Microsoft are being sued in federal court by authors Nicholas Basbanes and Nicholas Gage, who claim their work was misused to train the AI models behind popular chatbot ChatGPT. The lawsuit alleges copyright infringement and follows similar suits filed by other writers against tech companies.

Microsoft and OpenAI have not commented on the complaint. The filing is part of a series of lawsuits by both fiction and nonfiction writers against tech companies over the alleged use of their work to train AI programs.

The New York Times recently sued OpenAI and Microsoft for using journalists’ work to train AI applications. Basbanes and Gage, both former journalists, are outraged that their works were used without compensation for a new billion-dollar-plus industry.
