NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) has been sued by three authors for allegedly using their copyrighted works without permission to train its AI platform.
What Happened: The lawsuit was filed on Friday in a San Francisco federal court by authors Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian, and Stewart O’Nan, Reuters reported. The authors claimed that their works were part of a dataset of approximately 196,640 books used to train Nvidia’s NeMo AI platform to simulate ordinary written language.
