A coalition of publishers of nearly 400 local & regional newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI &
$MSFT
The lawsuit alleges that the companies stole the newspapers’ copyrighted news articles, used that content to build & train commercial AI products, including ChatGPT & Microsoft Copilot, and reproduced or repurposed the content without permission or compensation
$NYT filed a lawsuit against Microsoft & OpenAI in Dec 2023, alleging copyright infringement. The newspaper claimed the tech companies used its content without permission to develop their AI products. The federal judge directed OpenAI to provide 20M anonymized ChatGPT logs - the publishers contended that the logs were necessary to determine whether the AI system reproduced protected articles. The core lawsuit remains very active
OpenAI & Microsoft also face a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by a group of authors who accuse the companies of misusing the authors’ books to train AI software, while OpenAI faces a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Encyclopedia Britannica & its subsidiary Merriam-Webster, who allege the company scraped their articles to train its AI. : OpenAI lost its bid to dismiss key parts of the authors' copyright lawsuit. The case is moving thru extensive discovery, w/ both sides expected to file for summary judgmen
