Recently, the well-known technology listed company Nvidia suffered a storm of copyright infringement.。A group of writers filed a lawsuit accusing Nvidia of using their copyrighted works without permission while training its artificial intelligence platform NeMo。

It is reported that Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O'Nan and other writers jointly filed a lawsuit, accusing Nvidia in training NeMo artificial intelligence platform, using a collection of 196,640 books, including many of their works.。The works, which were used to train NeMo to simulate ordinary written language, were only removed last October for "reported copyright infringement."。

The lawsuit was filed in San Francisco federal court on Friday night, with the writers claiming that Nvidia "admitted" to using the collection in training NeMo, thereby violating their copyright.。The lawsuit not only targets NVIDIA's past infringements, but also seeks compensation for copyrighted works used by NVIDIA in the past three years when it trained NeMo Large Language Models (LLMs) in the United States.。

LLMs are key technologies that drive artificial intelligence tools such as NeMo, and Nvidia has said that using generative artificial intelligence is a fast and affordable way to train such models。However, the lawsuit reveals that Nvidia may have overlooked the importance of copyright protection while pursuing technological innovation.。

Among the works included in the lawsuit are Keane's 2008 novel "Ghost Step," Nazemian's 2019 novel "Like a Love Story," and Onan's 2007 novella "Last Night at a Lobster Restaurant."。The authors note that the books are included in a collection called Stacks, and that Nvidia has admitted training its NeMo Megatron model of artificial intelligence on Stacks.。

Nvidia currently refuses to comment on pending litigation。However, this lawsuit will undoubtedly bring a certain amount of legal risk and reputational damage to Nvidia。As a leading artificial intelligence chip manufacturer, Nvidia has made significant achievements in the industry in recent years, and its stock price has soared nearly 600% since the end of 2022, with a market value of nearly 2.$2 trillion。However, the copyright infringement lawsuit is a reminder that Nvidia must respect and protect the intellectual property rights of others while pursuing technological innovation.。

The lawsuit also embroiled Nvidia in a series of disputes over the use of copyrighted content by technology companies in training artificial intelligence models.。With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, how to balance the relationship between technological innovation and copyright protection will become the focus of the industry and the community.。

For Nvidia, how to properly handle this lawsuit and how to avoid similar copyright infringement issues in the future will be an important challenge.。At the same time, it also provides a warning to other technology companies that they must abide by laws and regulations and respect the intellectual property rights of others while pursuing technological innovation.。
