OpenAI Trained AI Models on Copyrighted Work, Says NYT Lawsuit

The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging unauthorized use of its articles to train AI models, which now compete with the newspaper in the dissemination of information and news.

OpenAI and Microsoft are accused of using The Times’s content to create AI products that substitute for and steal audiences away from The Times, resulting in a lawsuit that could influence the future landscape of digital content and intellectual property rights.

The lawsuit highlights the broader implications of AI companies accessing existing content without permission and sets the stage for a conversation about the intersection of technology, law, and creative rights.
