New York Times opinion contributor Julia Angwin is suing Grammarly's parent company, Superhuman, for using her name and skills in its AI editing tool, Expert Review. For $12 a month, customers could receive editing advice from Angwin on the platform. She alleges that she was never asked if her name or skills could be represented and sold on their platform. Angwin claims that using the tool, which was designed to review text and apply ideas from a relevant expert, is a violation of California and New York privacy laws that ban companies from using a person's name or likeness for advertising or business purposes without written consent. She is seeking at least $5 million in damages in hopes of ending the practice and protecting other writers. Superhuman CEO Shrota defended the feature, stating it had only a short lifespan and there was a better approach to bringing experts onto the platform, but missed the mark on what both experts and users expect.
