- John Carreyrou, a New York Times investigative reporter, has filed a lawsuit against six AI companies, including xAI, Google, and OpenAI, for allegedly using copyrighted books without permission to train their AI systems.
- The lawsuit, filed in California federal court, is the first to name xAI as a defendant.
- Carreyrou and five other writers opted out of a class-action settlement with Anthropic, claiming it undervalued authors' rights.
- They argue that AI companies profit from stolen intellectual property while creators receive no compensation.
