Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI are being sued for allegedly violating copyright law in the creation of GitHub Copilot — an AI coding assistant trained on open-source code. In an interview with The Verge, the lawyers filing the suit explain their motivations and the future of AI copyright.
Microsoft, its subsidiary GitHub, and its business partner OpenAI have been targeted in a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that the companies’ creation of AI-powered coding assistant GitHub Copilot relies on “software piracy on an unprecedented scale.” The case is only in its earliest stages but could have a huge effect on the broader world of AI, where companies are making fortunes training software on copyright-protected data.
Me, I much prefer Spotify and iTunes, and I’m hoping that the next generation of these AI tools are better and fairer for everyone and makes everybody happier and more productive. I take it from your answers that you wouldn’t accept a settlement from Microsoft and OpenAI? MB: It’s only day one of the lawsuit... One section of the lawsuit I thought was particularly interesting was on the very close but murkily defined business relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI.
