Authors Take Legal Action Against Nvidia
Three authors, Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian, and Stewart O'Nan, have filed a lawsuit against Nvidia for allegedly using their copyrighted books without authorization. They claim that Nvidia utilized their works in a dataset of over 196,640 books to train its NeMo AI platform.
Dataset Removal and Legal Ramifications
- This dataset was taken down in October after reported copyright violations, prompting the authors to argue that Nvidia admitted to training NeMo with their copyrighted materials.
- The legal complaint, presented as a proposed class action in a San Francisco federal court, suggests that Nvidia's actions violated copyright laws.
This case highlights the complexities and challenges surrounding the intersection of AI technology and intellectual property rights.
