A YouTube creator, David Millette, has filed a class action lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the company used transcripts from YouTube videos to train its AI models without notifying or compensating the creators. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims OpenAI's actions violated copyright law and YouTube's terms of service. Millette is seeking over $5 million in damages. The case highlights the growing tension over the use of online data for training AI, with many copyright holders disputing the notion of fair use invoked by AI companies.
