American Authors Sue Nvidia for Copyright Infringement Over NeMo AI Platform

Three American authors have filed a class action against Nvidia in court. The trio allege that the chip manufacturer used their copyrighted books without permission to train the AI ​​platform NeMo.

Authors Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O’Nan claim that their work has been used on a dataset of more than 196,000 books to train NeMo’s large language models over the past three years. That reports Reuters news agency. The trio is seeking unspecified compensation for all affected authors in the United States whose copyrighted works Nvidia has used. After reports of copyright violations, Nvidia removed the dataset in October. Nvidia has not yet responded to the complaint.

The number of lawsuits against AI companies is increasing. The New York Times previously sued the maker of the ChatGPT chatbot OpenAI. According to the newspaper, the company has used ‘millions’ of articles from the medium to train its chatbots. Stability AI, the maker of image generator Stable Diffusion, was also recently sued by Getty Images. The stock photo database claims that Stability AI made unauthorized use of Getty’s images to develop the AI ​​tool.

NeMo is one framework van Nvidia which focuses on creating and training AI models, especially for speech and language processing. NeMo stands for neural modules. The platform uses Nvidia’s GPU technology to train models created with NeMo faster.
