Grammarly Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over AI 'Expert Review' Feature

Grammarly is facing a class action lawsuit over its 'Expert Review' feature, which is powered by artificial intelligence. This feature, which was shut down on Wednesday, provided editing suggestions presented as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

The practice has raised ethical questions about the use of AI to impersonate authoritative figures and the importance of consent in attributing content. The lawsuit could have significant implications for companies developing AI-powered writing tools and how AI-generated suggestions are presented to users.

For those evaluating on-premise deployment of similar solutions, there are trade-offs to consider carefully. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
