Nvidia Sued for Scraping YouTube After 404 Media Investigation

YouTube creator David Millette has filed a class action lawsuit against Nvidia over how it built training data for its "Cosmos" video model. Filed on a Wednesday, the suit claims Nvidia profited significantly from his and other creators' videos, violated California's Unfair Competition Law, and was unjustly enriched at creators' expense. The filing follows a 404 Media investigation that reported Nvidia scraped YouTube and other platforms en masse to build its AI systems. Millette also claims Nvidia broke federal labor laws by using content scraped without creators' permission.
