New York Times Sues OpenAI and Microsoft Over Use of Content to Train AI Models
-
The New York Times filed a major copyright infringement lawsuit against OpenAI over its use of Times content to train AI models like ChatGPT.
-
The Times alleges OpenAI copied vast amounts of its proprietary content without permission to improve its AI systems.
-
The Times' lawsuit is seen as having more legal advantages compared to prior suits, including adding Microsoft as a defendant.
-
OpenAI disputes the Times' claims and says its use of internet content to train AI is fair use, though it offers an opt-out.
-
How the AI systems actually work, and whether they just reproduce content vs transforming it, will be a key issue in the case.
