New York Times Takes Legal Action Against OpenAI and Microsoft Over AI Training
The New York Times is suing OpenAI, the owner of ChatGPT, and Microsoft, alleging that they used millions of NYT articles without permission to train the AI system.
The lawsuit seeks “billions of dollars” in damages, claiming that ChatGPT now competes with the newspaper as an information source.
The NYT asserts that the AI sometimes generates verbatim excerpts from its articles, potentially impacting subscription revenue and advertising clicks.
Microsoft, having invested over $10 billion in OpenAI, faces legal scrutiny alongside the AI company.
This lawsuit adds to a series of legal challenges against OpenAI, including copyright infringement cases by authors and a lawsuit related to AI code usage. The disputes remain unresolved as of now.
