NVIDIA IS THE ‘POSTER CHILD’ FOR THE AI RALLY: DAN NILES

Satori Fund senior portfolio manager Dan Niles analyzes the performance of the
‘Magnificent 7’ stocks and reveals some upcoming investment opportunities on
‘Making Money.’

Tech giant Nvidia is facing a lawsuit from a group of authors who said it used
their copyrighted works without their permission to train its artificial
intelligence (AI) platform NeMo.




Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O'Nan said their works were included in a
dataset of 196,640 books that were used to train NeMo to simulate ordinary
written language before it was removed in October "due to reported copyright
infringement."

The authors' proposed class action lawsuit was filed Friday night in San
Francisco federal court and claims that Nvidia "admitted" it trained NeMo on the
dataset, thereby infringing their copyrights. The suit is similar to other
lawsuits filed regarding AI copyright infringement.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for people in the U.S. whose copyrighted
works helped train NeMo's large language models (LLMs) in the last three years.
LLMs are used to power AI tools like NeMo, which Nvidia says is a fast and
affordable way to adopt generative AI.

Among the works included in the lawsuit are Keene's 2008 novel "Ghost Walk,"
Nazemian's 2019 novel "Like a Love Story," and O'Nan's 2007 novella "Last Night
at the Lobster."

The suit claims the books were included in a data known as "The Pile" that
contained a collection of books called "Books3" and Nvidia has admitted to
training its NeMo Megatron AI models on The Pile and Books3.

The NeMo Megatron models were hosted on a website called Hugging Face that
included a description of AI models' training dataset, which stated that the
model was trained on The Pile. The Pile's Books3 dataset was listed on Hugging
Face until October 2023, when the dataset was removed with a message that it "is
defunct and no longer accessible due to reported copyright infringement."

Nvidia declined to comment on the pending litigation.



The lawsuit drags Nvidia into a growing group of lawsuits against tech companies
over the use of copyrighted content in training AI models, including several
filed by writers as well as by the New York Times, which sued ChatGPT-maker
OpenAI and Microsoft.

Nvidia's role as a leading chipmaker for in-demand AI chips has caused its stock
to surge by nearly 600% since the end of 2022, giving the company a market value
of nearly $2.2 trillion.
