New York Times files copyright infringement lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft

The New York Times, one of the most prestigious institutions in the United States, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft due to the use of its copyrighted works by artificial intelligence.

The newspaper states that millions of news articles and reports it has published have been used to train the companies' artificial intelligence chatbots, and that this constitutes a violation of copyright laws.

FIRST MAJOR 'ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE' LAWSUIT

Reporting on the lawsuit it has filed on its own pages, The New York Times wrote that this is the latest chapter in the legal battle regarding the use of copyrighted publications by artificial intelligence. The newspaper has become the first major US media organization to file a lawsuit against ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence chatbots that utilize its existing news and articles.

COMPANY CITES BRAND DAMAGE AS REASON

The New York Times also pointed out that artificial intelligence companies are using media works without paying royalties to compete with the media for access to reliable information, and that this harms their business model by "stealing their readers." The publisher also argues that artificial intelligence, which uses its articles but produces misleading content, damages the newspaper's brand.
