A closely watched lawsuit brought against OpenAI by several authors—including Sarah Silverman, Paul Tremblay, Christopher Golden, and Richard Kadrey—had almost all of its allegations dismissed by a federal judge.

Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin of the Northern District of California, in court documents filed Monday, dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims of “vicarious copyright infringement,” saying there was not enough evidence to support them. The ruling was first reported by Bloomberg Law.

“Plaintiffs’ allegation that ‘every output of the OpenAI Language Models is an infringing derivative work’ is insufficient,” Judge Martinez-Olguin said. “Plaintiffs fail to explain what the outputs entail or allege that any particular output is substantially similar — or similar at all — to their books.”

“Accordingly, the Court dismissed the vicarious copyright infringement claim with leave to amend,” the court concluded.

Since the launch of GPT-4 in March, OpenAI has faced repeated accusations that its AI models were trained on copyrighted material.
