The New York Times Reportedly Sues OpenAI and Microsoft Over Alleged Unauthorized AI Training on Its Content

December 27, 2023

The New York Times is reportedly suing OpenAI and Microsoft over allegations of unauthorized use of its content for AI training, including ChatGPT. The lawsuit claims that the companies scraped and reproduced copyrighted material without permission or compensation, which undermines the Times' business and competes with its journalism. Allegedly, some AI outputs regurgitate Times articles verbatim. The lawsuit seeks damages and demands the destruction of AI models trained on its content.
