After weeks benefiting from the boom in generative artificial intelligence to greater and greater heights, Nvidia is being sued by the authors for training it NeMo AI platform. Authors Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O’Nan filed a proposed class motion lawsuit on Friday in a federal district court in California. They claim that their work was a part of a dataset of nearly 197,000 books that helped train NeMo to generate plain written language.
Part of the gathering of works on which NeMo was trained included a set of books from the Bibliotik, the so-called “shadow library” that stores and distributes unlicensed copyrighted material. This dataset was available until October 2023, when it was listed as defunct and “no longer available due to a reported copyright infringement.”
Dataset included no less than one published each creator’s work, in line with the lawsuit – Keene’s Ghost walkNazemian Like a love storyand O’Nana Last night at Lobster.
The authors claim that the removal is basically a concession by Nvidia that it trained its NeMo models on the dataset, thereby violating their copyright. They are in search of unspecified damages for people within the US whose copyrighted works were used to coach Nemo’s large language models as a part of last three years.
“We respect the rights of all content creators and believe that we have created NeMo in full compliance with copyright law,” an Nvidia spokesperson said.
After Monday’s morning session, Nvidia’s shares fell almost 2%. closing down 5.6% on Friday.. Even with these losses, the corporate’s shares are up almost 273% over the past 12 months, and the corporate remains to be up priced well above Amazon and Alphabet parent Google.
The tech giant joins the ranks of several other artificial intelligence firms which were sued for allegedly copying licensed material without permission.
