Over 8,000 authors including Booker-winners Margaret Atwood and George Saunders, and bestselling writers Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Egan, among others have signed an open letter to Generative AI Leaders asking them to seek permission, give due credits and fairly compensate writers for using their copyrighted works to train AI.
The open letter comes after American authors Paul Tremblay and Mona Awad sued Open AI in San Francisco federal court in June 2023, claiming in that the company misused their works to train ChatGPT, reported Reuters.
