OpenAI and Microsoft are facing another lawsuit over the use of copyrighted material. Earlier this year, the New York Times sued the two GenAI powerhouses over the use of its articles to train their large language models (LLMs). Now, eight other newspapers have sued OpenAI and Microsoft for the use of copyrighted material.
“This lawsuit arises from Defendants purloining millions of the Publishers’ copyrighted articles without permission and without payment to fuel the commercialization of their generative artificial intelligence (“GenAI”) products, including ChatGPT and Copilot,” according to the complaint.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of several notable names in news: the Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, South Florida Sun Sentinel, New York Daily News, Mercury News, Denver Post, Orange County Register, and St. Paul Pioneer-Press, according to the Chicago Tribune’s coverage of the lawsuit.
