Microsoft is facing a new lawsuit related to their partnership with OpenAI in the creation of ChatGPT. The lawsuit claims that Microsoft provided OpenAI with unauthorized training data by using unlicensed copies of authors’ works, as well as having knowledge of OpenAI’s use of copyrighted material from the internet. The suit highlights Microsoft’s involvement in the development and commercialization of OpenAI’s GPT-based products, including Microsoft’s provision of a specialized computing system for training the model.
The complaint argues that Microsoft was aware of the copyright infringement and violated intellectual property laws through their investment in OpenAI. The lawsuit also alleges that both companies directly made tens of thousands of unlicensed copies of copyrighted works for AI training purposes. Microsoft’s involvement extends beyond product development and includes the integration of OpenAI’s technology into its search engine and the hiring of OpenAI’s former CEO. The suit claims that the alleged infringement has caused unfair competition by depriving authors of potential licensing agreements.
