The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft<\/a>, seeking billions in damages over using AI-generated content from its newspaper's extensive article archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"OpenAI,
OpenAI, Microsoft Face Lawsuit from New York Times<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times is demanding billions of dollars in damages, without specifying a figure, for what it terms “illicit duplication and use” of its content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the legal action requests the complete disassembly of AI models <\/a>and training data that contain copyrighted material from The Times. Microsoft and OpenAI have not yet issued a public statement responding to these allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This legal challenge highlights the increasing tension between traditional media and AI-driven platforms and calls into doubt the use of copyrighted works in AI training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times, having succeeded in its digital journalism endeavors, perceives AI chatbots as direct competitors with the potential to divert traffic and revenue from its digital properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the case may have far-reaching implications for the rapidly growing field of generative AI<\/a>, which depends on a wide range of online texts to fulfill its developmental requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times' Stance on AI Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Times lodged a complaint that cited occurrences in which AI chatbots generated responses derived from its journalism, which was unavailable exclusively on a subscription basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the newspaper, this could result in fewer visits to its website and, consequently, a decline in advertising and subscription income. The lawsuit further highlights the potential damage that AI-generated inaccuracies or “hallucinations” could cause to The New York Times' brand reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Times, previous efforts to resolve the dispute amicably with Microsoft and OpenAI regarding commercial agreements and restrictions on AI products failed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has resulted in the initiation of the present legal proceedings. This legal action represents a pivotal moment for AI technology \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>companies and the news industry, potentially altering the norms of interaction in the era of digitalization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
