As the world of artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, a controversy involving Microsoft's AI models has ignited a heated debate about intellectual property rights.
Authors are speaking out, alleging that these powerful AI systems were trained on a staggering 200,000 pirated books.
The Allegations Against Microsoft
Microsoft faces accusations from a collective of authors who claim the tech giant developed an artificial intelligence model using around 200,000 unlawfully copied books. This marks the latest development in the ongoing legal dispute over copyrighted material involving creators and technology firms.
Authors, including Kai Bird, Jia Tolentino, and Daniel Okrent, have brought forward claims that Microsoft taught its Megatron AI to generate human-like responses by utilising pirated digital copies of their books.
Microsoft released a generalist multi-agent AI system that can complete real-world tasks on its own.
