A federal judge in California on Friday dismissed a class action lawsuit accusing OpenAI and Microsoft of using stolen personal data to train the popular chatbot ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence systems.
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria said in the two-page ruling that the 204-page complaint is “not only excessive in length” but “contains many unnecessary and disturbing allegations, making it nearly impossible to determine the sufficiency of the plaintiffs’ legal claims . “authors”.
The judge said the complainants can file a new revised complaint. Lawyers for the plaintiffs and representatives of OpenAI and Microsoft did not comment on the matter.
The case was brought last year by law firms Clarkson Law Firm and Morgan & Morgan. The lawsuit accused OpenAI and its largest backer, Microsoft, of improperly using personal data from social media platforms and other websites to teach artificial intelligence how to respond to human requests. The companies have denied the allegations.
Chhabria said Friday that the lawsuit contains “irrelevant” aspects — including “more than three pages discussing copyright issues” despite not including any copyright claims — as well as “rhetorical and political complaints that are not appropriate for resolution by of the federal courts.”
“The development of artificial intelligence technology could raise serious concerns for society, but plaintiffs need to understand that they are in a court of law, not a town hall meeting,” Chhabria said.
