The attorneys that filed the https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/ say they’re getting messages every day from creators concerned about how their work is being used by artificial intelligence companies, according to lead attorney https://matthewbutterick.com/. “It’s appalling that AI investors and companies, in pursuit of profit, are already settling on a strategy of massive IP infringement.

We asked Butterick — who is also a programmer — whether there is a way to train AI without violating the open source licensing.

More broadly, AI companies will need to bring creators into the process to make it fair.”

We also asked whether Copilot be saved if it did violate open source licensing by training on Github code.
