The New York Times sues OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement

The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming that they used millions of copyrighted New York Times articles in the training of AI models. The lawsuit argues that the AI models created by OpenAI and Microsoft, such as chat GPT and Bing copilot, reproduce and store copyrighted works without permission or payment, posing a threat to the New York Times' journalism and brand. The case highlights the debate around fair use in the context of AI and copyright law, and the potential impact on the future use of copyrighted materials in AI training.
