flag Journalist John Carreyrou sues major tech firms, including xAI, for using copyrighted books to train AI without permission.

flag Investigative journalist John Carreyrou, author of "Bad Blood," has sued several major tech firms—including Elon Musk’s xAI, Google, OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and Perplexity—accusing them of using copyrighted books without permission to train AI chatbots. flag Filed in California federal court, the lawsuit, the first to name xAI as a defendant, alleges widespread copyright infringement and argues against class action status, claiming it allows companies to settle claims for minimal payouts. flag The plaintiffs criticize Anthropic’s $1.5 billion class settlement as insufficient, noting it would yield only about 2% of maximum statutory damages per work. flag The case highlights ongoing legal and ethical debates over AI training and creators’ rights.
