NVIDIA, a semiconductor manufacturer that not only develops and sells AI-specialized GPUs , but also develops various AI-related tools and frameworks, including NVIDIA NeMo, which allows developers to build, customize, and deploy AI models. NVIDIA has been sued for using copyrighted content in training NVIDIA NeMo.
The lawsuit was filed by three authors, Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian, and Stewart O'Nan. According to the lawsuit, the three authors' books were included in a dataset of approximately 196,640 books used by NVIDIA NeMo to train conventional written language. Following a copyright infringement report, the three authors' books were removed from the dataset in October 2023.
The lawsuit states, 'NVIDIA's removal of our work from the dataset is tantamount to an 'admission' that it trained NVIDIA NeMo on the dataset and thereby infringed our copyright.'
The plaintiffs sought damages from an unspecified number of American creators whose copyrighted works were used to train NVIDIA NeMo over the past three years.
The works whose copyrights have been infringed include Keene's novel '
Companies being sued for using copyrighted content to train generative AI include OpenAI, developer of the chat AI ChatGPT, and its partner Microsoft.
Reuters pointed out that 'the lawsuit puts Nvidia in the crosshairs of lawsuits including The New York Times' over generative AI, which creates new content based on inputs such as text, images and voice.'
