ChatGPT has been dragged into court again. Renowned authors John Grisham, George R.R. Martin, and Jodi Picoult are suing the technology behind ChatGPT for copyright infringement. The Manhattan authors are suing OpenAI, the company that provides the generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot service, ChatGPT, in US federal court. The prominent authors who are members of the union include John Grisham, best known as the author of legal novels such as The Firm; George R.R. Martini, author of the fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, which later became famous as the television series Game of Thrones; and Jodi Picoult, best known as the author of family stories such as My Sister's Keeper. The authors accuse OpenAI of copyright infringement by using their work without permission to train ChatGPT.[1]

ChatGPT uses generative AI technology, a computer model that can create its own content in the form of text, images, videos, and even audio. The ChatGPT service implements a large language model (LLM), a technology that allows computers to process very large amounts of text data in a short time. According to the authors' union, OpenAI copied their "entire work" without permission. OpenAI then incorporated the copyrighted work into ChatGPT's LLM. ChatGPT then used the LLM to generate text to answer users' questions and commands. The lawsuit from the Manhattan authors' union is one of many legal actions against generative AI tools. In July, two authors also sued OpenAI for using their books to train ChatGPT without permission.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
