"challenges Grammarly's misappropriation of the names and identities of hundreds of journalists, authors, writers, and editors to earn profits for Grammarly and its owner, Superhuman."
"After careful consideration, we have decided to disable Expert Review as we reimagine the feature to make it more useful for users, while giving experts real control over how they want to be represented-or not represented at all. We built the agent to help users tap into the insights of thought leaders and experts and to give experts new ways to share their knowledge and reach new audiences. Based on the feedback we've received, we clearly missed the mark."
Superhuman, the company behind Grammarly, is being sued in federal court for misappropriating the names and identities of hundreds of journalists, authors, writers, and editors in its Expert Review AI tool. Award-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin, alongside figures like Stephen King and Neil deGrasse Tyson, had their names presented as virtual editors without permission. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, seeks damages exceeding $5 million on behalf of the plaintiff class. Superhuman has already discontinued the feature following public backlash, acknowledging the company missed the mark and apologizing for the unauthorized use of experts' identities.
