Over the summer, several lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI on grounds of privacy violation and copyright infringement. The allegations suggest that the company used several copyrighted works while developing their large language models.
These litigations are considered to be the first among many that will likely emerge, and it’s unlikely that OpenAI’s large language models will be the only ones to face such legal challenges. In fact, in the aftermath of the initial lawsuits filed against OpenAI, other tech giants such as Google, Meta and Microsoft have also been sued on similar grounds.
These lawsuits, while currently not causing significant turbulence in the landscape of legal tech, are anticipated to bolster arguments favoring an LLM-agnostic or multi-model approach to the creation of generative AI.
