The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against the creators of chat GBT and other AI platforms for copyright infringement, seeking damages in billions of dollars and the destruction of chatbot models and training data. The lawsuit claims that the defendants are using Times' content without payment to create products that substitute for the Times and steal audiences away. This legal battle is expected to be protracted and may ultimately require the intervention of the Supreme Court. The core of the Times' argument is that AI platforms are creating products that serve as substitutes for the Times and draw audiences away, which may be difficult to prove given the primary use case of the AI platforms.

The New York Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft. While it's not the first copyright suit of its type, it's certainly the most significant so far. The case -- which will almost certainly end up at the Supreme Court -- could have significant ramifications for how LLMs and generative AI develops. Today's Sponsors: Notion - Notion AI.
