American comedian Sarah Silverman and two other authors sued OpenAI, developer of the ChatGPT platform, for alleged copyright infringement used to train artificial intelligence (AI).

OpenAI declined to comment on the process when asked by the AFP news agency. Meta initially did not respond to a request.
