NVIDIA sued by many writers for copyright infringement

According to GameRant , despite its stock price still being at an all-time high, NVIDIA has suddenly found itself in the middle of a class action lawsuit over copyright infringement over some of its recent AI technology.

Accordingly, NVIDIA is facing allegations that its NeMo artificial intelligence platform violates copyright. This lawsuit could become a major obstacle to Nvidia 's AI development ambitions, which are the main driving force for the company's stock price to unprecedented highs.

NVIDIA's NeMo AI Model Accused of Using Unauthorized Training Materials

A few years ago, NVIDIA expanded into the field of generative AI. The company’s flagship product in this area is NeMo, a comprehensive cloud platform for building and deploying generative AI models similar to ChatGPT. However, this solution is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with the authors.

As first reported by Reuters, authors Abdi Nazemian, Brian Keene, and Stewart O'Nan allege that their works were included in NeMo's training dataset, which was intended to teach AI to imitate human writing. Because their works were allegedly included in the training dataset without permission, the writers are accusing NVIDIA of copyright infringement.

As of October 2023, the central dataset of the lawsuit reportedly contained more than 196,000 books. The dataset was taken down after complaints from copyright owners. The plaintiffs are seeking damages for the unlicensed commercial use of their works, although the exact amount of damages is unclear.

The new lawsuit is similar in nature to a class action lawsuit that George R.R. Martin and several other authors filed against OpenAI in September 2023. Both lawsuits involved authors alleging the use of their work to train AI models for commercial purposes, which requires explicit permission under the DMCA ( Digital Millennium Copyright Act ). Meta and Microsoft, one of OpenAI’s investors, have also been sued in recent years.

US courts have yet to establish specific precedents for copyright infringement against text-based AIs. However, creators did win in August 2023, when a US court ruled that AI-generated artworks could not be properly copyrighted because the models used to create them were trained on copyrighted material.
