A federal judge in California dismissed an unfair competition claim brought by book authors, including comedian Sarah Silverman, against OpenAI. The authors alleged that OpenAI improperly trained its programs using their works without consent, leading to copyright infringement claims and unfair competition accusations. The court allowed the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint focusing on direct copyright infringement and unfair competition claims against the creator of ChatGPT.
OpenAI argued that the unfair competition claim was preempted by the Copyright Act, which the judge agreed with, stating that state law claims falling within the subject matter of copyright are preempted. The judge found that the nature of the unfair competition claim was closely related to the copyright infringement claim, indicating a qualitative similarity between the two. The parties are scheduled to return to court for a settlement conference on Sept. 13.
