Artists sue AI companies for unauthorized training data
Authors and artists whose work was used to train AI models without consent are now taking legal action against companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta. Kirk Wallace Johnson discovered that his books had been pirated and included in training data, and multiple artists are now reporting legal victories in similar cases.
