The The Authors Guild has organized a lawsuit against OpenAI, with 17 authors (Michael Connelly, Victor LaValle, Jodi Picoult), including me. I promised when I became President of the Guild to fight for authors. It’s a promise I intend to keep. 📣 bit.ly/3rplywL

“Our membership is diverse and passionate. Our staff, which includes a formidable legal team, has expertise in copyright law. This is all to say: We do not bring this suit lightly. We are here to fight.” —Maya Shanbhag Lang, president of the Authors Guild

“I’m very happy to be part of this effort to nudge the tech world to make good on its frequent declarations that it is on the side of creativity. Fair compensation means that a person’s work is valued, plain and simple." —George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo

"We are pursuing protections and compensation for all writers, from poets to memoirists to biographers. If you write nonfiction, as I do, please know that we have your back. This fight is for authors of every genre." — Maya Shanbhag Lang bit.ly/3PvZ59h
