Grammarly Accused of Exploiting Authors in Groundbreaking Lawsuit

Journalist Julia Angwin files class action against Grammarly, alleging the AI writing assistant violates privacy and publicity rights of authors without consent.
In a groundbreaking move, acclaimed journalist Julia Angwin has filed a class action lawsuit against the popular AI writing assistant Grammarly, accusing the company of exploiting the work of authors without their knowledge or consent. The lawsuit alleges that Grammarly has turned writers and other content creators into unwitting "AI editors" by using their text to train and improve the platform's language models.
At the heart of the lawsuit is the claim that Grammarly has violated the privacy and publicity rights of its users by extracting and leveraging their written work for commercial gain. Angwin, a veteran journalist known for her investigative reporting on technology and privacy issues, argues that Grammarly's practices amount to a form of "unconsented data extraction" that deprives authors of control over their intellectual property and creative output.
