A Boston College finance professor is among six textbook authors suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, alleging the companies downloaded their books from pirate websites and used them without authorization to train their large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT. “OpenAI reproduced Plaintiffs’ and the Class’s Works without authorization by downloading them from shadow libraries, copying them into datasets and computer memory, converting them into training-ready formats, and copying them into the materials used to train their LLMs and ChatGPT,” the textbook authors argued in their complaint.  The suit seeks to represent every textbook author whose copyrighted work OpenAI or Microsoft allegedly copied.

LGBTQIA+ students deserve to feel loved and valued, and I hope that the new BC administration will recognize this and reverse course soon. We need to welcome these students and make them feel supported when they set foot on a college campus. Anything less than that is unacceptable.
Moulton also weighed in on Boston College’s longstanding LGBTQ+ resource center debate.
