One of 2 Plaintiffs Dismisses Without Prejudice Copyright Claims vs. ChatGPT

Plaintiff Mona Awad dismissed without prejudice her individual copyright infringement claims against OpenAI defendants, said a Friday notice (docket 4:23-cv-03223) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. Awad’s dismissal doesn't affect claims brought by Paul Tremblay or any related matter, including Silverman et al. v. OpenAI, said the notice. Defendants haven’t filed an answer or motion for summary judgment. Awad, an author, along with plaintiff Tremblay, alleged their copyrighted materials were ingested and used to train ChatGPT without their consent.
