US book publishers sue Audible over AI-powered transcription

#artificialintelligence

Leading the suit are the so-called "Big Five" of US publishing: Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster. At the center of the case is the Captions feature the Amazon-owned company announced last month. The feature uses machine learning to allow Audible users to transcribe an audiobook into text. Since it announced Captions, Audible has positioned the feature as a student aid. However, the company also plans to make it available to subscribers.
