| |MARCH, 20249TECH MINTNvidia falls under lawsuit by three authors claiming the usage of their copyrighted books without permission to train its NeMo AI platform.Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O'Nan said their works were part of a dataset of about 196,640 books that helped train NeMo to simulate ordinary written language, before being taken down in October "due to reported copyright infringement."The case was filed at a San Francisco federal court with the authors stating that the take-down reflects Nvidia's having "admitted" it trained NeMo on the dataset, and thereby infringed their copyrights.Currently, unspecified damages are being sought after for the people in the US claiming copyright works helped train NeMo's large language models for up to three years.Among the works covered by the lawsuit are Keene's 2008 novel "Ghost Walk," Nazemian's 2019 novel "Like a Love Story," and O'Nan's 2007 novella "Last Night at the Lobster."The present lawsuit against Nvidia adds up to a bunch of litigation by writers and the New York Times for using its generative AI to create new content based on text, images and sounds.Microsoft and OpenAI, the company that developed ChatGPT, are among the other businesses that have been sued over the technology.Investors now choose Nvidia because to the growth of AI.Since the end of 2022, the stock price of the Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker has increased by about 600 percent, placing Nvidia's market worth at almost $2.2 trillion. In an effort to investigate the potential applica-tions of generative artificial intelligence (Ge-nAI) in its companies, American investment firm Goldman Sachs has established a centre in India to train both engineers and non-engi-neers in the field.Since 2006, Goldman Sachs has invested more than $7 billion in India. Starting off as a support function, the Indian operations have now become the second largest for Goldman Sachs globally."In 2024, we aim to train over 1,000 non-engineering business users across Bengaluru and Hyderabad offices in India. They include individuals across operations, controllers, treasury, sales, research and investment banking," says Gunjan Samtani, global chief operating officer of engineering at Goldman Sachs.The school was piloted in mid-2023, under which the global financial services major trained employees across asset and wealth management, risk management, global banking and markets functions.It aims to have more than 4,000 employees trained in AI, said Samtani, who is also the country head for Goldman Sachs Services India.It established Goldman Sachs Services India in Bengaluru almost twenty years ago as one of its global competence centres. Currently, it employs over eight,500 people worldwide, or roughly 18 percent of the overall headcount, at its Hyderabad and Bengaluru offices. The facility in Hyderabad was opened in October of the previous year.Half of the 8,500 staffers in India are engineers, representing one-third of the 12,000 engineers Goldman Sachs employs globally. With the largest office presence outside of its headquarters in New York, India also has the highest percentage of engineers embedded into Goldman Sachs' front-to-back businesses."In the context of distribution of engineers across Americas and India, in totality, I think they are on par with each other," Samtani adds.
