Alec Radford, a former researcher at OpenAI, has been subpoenaed as part of a copyright lawsuit against the AI firm. The legal action, initiated by several prominent authors including Paul Tremblay, Sarah Silverman, and Michael Chabon, alleges that OpenAI infringed on their copyrights by using their works to train its AI models, particularly ChatGPT. Radford, who was instrumental in the development of generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) at OpenAI, received the subpoena on February 25. The lawsuit claims that OpenAI\u2019s use of copyrighted material is not protected under fair use. The court has previously dismissed some claims but allowed the direct infringement claim to proceed. Other former OpenAI employees, Dario Amodei and Benjamin Mann, who have since started Anthropic, are also involved, with Amodei required to testify about his past work at OpenAI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
