Jakarta (MidLand) – Technology company Nvidia has been sued by three authors, namely Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O’Nan, for copyright infringement while training the artificial intelligence (AI) platform NeMo using a book they created.
In their lawsuit, the three seek unspecified damages because the US company is known to have trained its artificial intelligence to be able to create essays across various books by various authors without permission.
The three said their work was part of a dataset of around 196,640 books that helped train NeMo to simulate normal written language, before it was removed in October 2023 due to reports of copyright infringement.

In a Hindustan Times article on Monday, news that the three writers would sue Nvidia was first revealed by Reuters.
The lawsuit filed is: class actionfiled Friday evening in federal court in San Francisco.
The three claimed that the removal of their book listings in October 2023 reflected Nvidia’s indirect admission that it had trained NeMo to use the dataset and had infringed the authors’ copyrights.
They are seeking unspecified damages for US residents whose work is protected by copyright and who have helped train NeMo’s artificial intelligence over the past three years.

Brian Keene’s work whose rights were infringed by Nvidia titled “Ghost Walk” was published in 2008, then the novel “Like a Love Story” by Nazemian, published in 2019, and O’Nan’s 2007 novel titled “Last Night at the Lobster.”
Nvidia is still silent and refused to comment on Sunday (3/10). Meanwhile, attorneys for the plaintiffs did not respond to requests for further comment.
To date, Nvidia has touted NeMo as a fast and affordable way to adopt generative AI. The presence of the AI platform makes Nvidia a favorite among investors.
As for the author’s lawsuit against AI technology development companies, this has actually already happened.
For example, the New York Times (NYT) sued OpenAI in late 2023 because it had trained its generative AI to create new content with data in the form of text, images, and sounds owned by the NYT.
