Authors sue Nvidia for copyright infringement in NeMo AI training
Three authors have filed a proposed class action against Nvidia, alleging the company used their copyrighted books without permission to train its NeMo AI platform. The dataset, containing approximately 196,640 volumes, was removed in October 2023 after copyright infringement reports. The authors are seeking unspecified damages on behalf of US writers whose works were used in the past three years.
