Huckabee, Religious Authors File Suit Over AI Tools Scraping Their Content

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and a group of religious authors filed a new lawsuit against a group of tech companies, arguing they trained artificial intelligence tools on the authors’ books without permission. The suit, filed in New York federal court, is the latest in a procession of lawsuits targeting tech companies for training their AI on text they scraped from the web, a practice that has helped OpenAI, Google and others create breakthrough chatbots like ChatGPT and kick off a competitive scramble to sell AI tools.
