<p>(Reuters) – Comedian Sarah Silverman and two authors have filed copyright infringement lawsuits against Meta Platforms and OpenAI for allegedly using their content without permission to train artificial intelligence language models.</p>
<p>The proposed class action lawsuits filed by Silverman, Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden in San Francisco federal court Friday allege Facebook (NASDAQ:) parent company Meta and ChatGPT maker OpenAI used copyrighted material to train chat bots.</p>
<p>Meta and OpenAI, a private company backed by <span itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Corporation"><span itemprop="name"> Microsoft Corp </span></span> (NASDAQ:), did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Sunday.</p>
<p>The lawsuits underscore the legal risks developers of chat bots face when using troves of copyrighted material to create apps that deliver realistic responses to user prompts.</p>
<p>Silverman, Kadrey and Golden allege Meta and OpenAI used their books without authorization to develop their so-called large language models, which their makers pitch as powerful tools for automating tasks by replicating human conversation.</p>
<p>In their lawsuit against Meta, the plaintiffs allege that leaked information about the company’s artificial intelligence business shows their work was used without permission.</p>
<p>The lawsuit against OpenAI alleges that summaries of the plaintiffs’ work generated by ChatGPT indicate the bot was trained on their copyrighted content.</p>
<p>“The summaries get some details wrong” but still show that ChatGPT “retains knowledge of particular works in the training dataset,” the lawsuit says.</p>
<p>The lawsuits seek unspecified money damages on behalf of a nationwide class of copyright owners whose works were allegedly infringed.</p>
