Nvidia has found itself on the receiving end of a class action lawsuit alleging copyright infringement by its artificial intelligence platform NeMo. The litigation poses an obstacle to Nvidia fully realizing its AI ambitions that have propelled its stock to unprecedented heights.
The Santa Clara, California-based tech giant has been trying to stay at the forefront of the AI revolution in more ways than one. A significant portion of its recent research and development efforts were hence focused on producing and optimizing hardware for machine learning applications. At the same time, the company has also been trying to innovate on the software side of things, oftentimes with great success, as underlined by the high adoption rate of technologies like Nvidia's DLSS solution for upscaling and (as of version 3.5) frame generation.
Its ongoing artificial intelligence push has also expanded to generative AIs as of a few years ago. The company's flagship offering in this niche is NeMo, an end-to-end cloud framework for building and deploying generative AI models akin to ChatGPT. This solution has now been targeted by a class action lawsuit initiated by a number of novelists. As first reported by Reuters, authors Abdi Nazemian, Brian Keene, and Stewart O'Nan claim that their works were part of NeMo's training dataset meant to help teach it how to simulate human writing. Since their works are said to have been included in the training data without their permission, the novelists allege copyright infringement on Nvidia's part.
The dataset at the center of the lawsuit reportedly comprised over 196,000 books as of October 2023, when it was taken down following a complaint by the copyright holders. The plaintiffs are seeking damages for the alleged unlicensed use of their works for commercial purposes, though the extent of their compensation target is currently unclear.
On a fundamental level, the newly filed litigation is similar to the class lawsuit that George RR Martin and many other authors filed against OpenAI in September 2023. Both cases involve creatives alleging that the use of their work to train generative AI models constitutes commercial use, which requires explicit permission under the DMCA. Meta and Microsoft, which is one of OpenAI's investors, have been targeted by similar litigation in recent years.
Stateside courts have yet to set a specific precedent when it comes to generative AI specializing in writing. But creatives did already score a win in August 2023, when a U.S. court ruled that AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted precisely because the models used to create it are trained on already copyrighted materials. While the same technically holds true for human artists and all art is ultimately

Neural networks have grown substantially over the recent years from the iteration of the first Generative Pre-trained Transformers. As NVIDIA has refined their latest graphics cards and Tensor Cores, the capabilities of those networks has been greatly improved in recent years. Traditionally just text-based inputs, NVIDIA has been leveraging TensorRT for deep learning and audio interpretation. In two separate hands-on demonstrations with Inworld AI technology at GDC 2024, we had the opportunity to try and turn both Ubisoft’s NEO NPCs and NVIDIA’s Covert Protocol.
