Tech giant Nvidia is facing a lawsuit from a group of authors who say it uses copyrighted works for training without permission. Artificial intelligence (AI) Platform NeMo.
Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O'Nan train NeMo to simulate normal written language before their work was removed in October “due to a copyright infringement report” The dataset included 196,640 books used for the study.
The authors' proposed class action lawsuit, filed Friday night in San Francisco federal court, alleges that Nvidia “admitted” to training NeMo on the dataset and thereby infringing its copyright. This lawsuit is similar to other lawsuits brought regarding: AI piracy.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from people in the United States who provided copyrighted works to train NeMo's large-scale language models (LLMs) over the past three years. LLM is used to power AI tools such as his NeMo, and Nvidia says it's a quick and affordable way to deploy generative AI.
Hollywood star's AI lawsuit faces major setback in fight against copyright infringement
Works targeted in the lawsuit include Keene's 2008 novel “Ghost Walk,” Nazemian's 2019 novel “Like a Love Story,” and O'Nan's 2007 novel “Last Night at the Lobster.” is included.

The lawsuit alleges that the books were included in data known as “The Pile,” which includes a collection of books called “Books3,” and that Nvidia admits that it trained its NeMo Megatron AI model on The Pile and Books3. There is.
What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
The NeMo Megatron model was hosted on a website called Hugging Face, which included a description of the AI model's training dataset and noted that the model was trained on The Pile. Pile's Books3 dataset remained on his Hugging Face until October 2023, after which the dataset was removed with the message, “Retired and no longer accessible due to reported copyright infringement.” it was done.
Nvidia declined to comment on pending litigation.
The case puts Nvidia in the midst of a growing number of lawsuits against tech companies over the use of copyrighted content in training AI models. These include those initiated by writers and the New York Times. ChatGPT Manufacturer OpenAI And Microsoft.
Nvidia's role as a leading chip maker of in-demand AI chips has seen its stock price soar nearly 600% since the end of 2022, giving the company a market value of nearly $2.2 trillion.
