8 NEWSPAPERS SUE OPEN AI AND MICROSOFT OVER COPYRIGHT 📰

I ran out of toilet paper, so have begun using old newspapers ... Needless to say, “The Times” are rough. 😆

What’s new? Eight daily newspapers owned by Alden Global Capital have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing the tech companies of illegally using news articles to train their AI models.

Who is involved? The complaint was filed in federal court in the U.S. Southern District of New York and involves newspapers such as The New York Daily News, The Chicago Tribune, and others.

What is the charge? The newspapers allege that OpenAI and Microsoft used millions of copyrighted articles without permission to train and support their AI products, including ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. They claim the AI models often present full articles behind paywalls without proper attribution, impacting subscriptions and licensing revenue. The newspapers seek compensation and a jury trial, arguing that the tech companies are using their work to build their businesses without proper compensation.
