OpenAI’s Books3 dataset can’t be sued for copyright infringement, judge rules

Authors accused OpenAI of direct and vicarious copyright infringement.

California District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín dismisses copyright infringement claims.

Direct copyright infringement claim fails because the court doesn't agree that all output produced by OpenAI ’s models can be seen as a derivative work.

OpenAI said it expects to defeat that claim at a later stage.
