The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and Sam Altman’s OpenAI, alleging copyright infringement and unauthorized use of the newspaper’s content to train AI models, including ChatGPT. The lawsuit seeks “billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages” for what The Times deems the “unlawful copying” of its intellectual property. The Times argues that Microsoft and OpenAI’s AI systems directly compete with its content, limiting commercial opportunities and altering Wirecutter app links. With concerns about generative AI impacting news traffic and revenues, the lawsuit reflects a broader trend of media organizations seeking compensation for the alleged use of their materials in training advanced AI models. The legal action highlights the evolving challenges and ethical considerations in the intersection of journalism and artificial intelligence.
