Nvidia sued by 3 authors over AI use of copyrighted works

Among the works covered by the lawsuit are Keene’s 2008 novel Ghost Walk, Nazemian’s 2019 novel Like a Love Story, and O’Nan’s 2007 novella Last Night at the Lobster.

Nvidia declined to comment on Sunday. Lawyers for the authors did not immediately respond to requests on Sunday for additional comment.

The lawsuit drags Nvidia into a growing body of litigation by writers, as well as The New York Times newspaper, over generative AI, which creates new content based on inputs such as text, images and sounds.

AI’s rise has made Nvidia a favourite of investors.
