NY Times, other newspapers ask federal judge to reject OpenAI, Microsoft challenges to copyright suit

Newspapers, including The New York Times and Daily News, are pushing back against OpenAI and Microsoft in a copyright infringement lawsuit. The tech giants are accused of using millions of copyrighted news stories without permission to train their AI products, such as ChatGPT and Copilot. The legal battle centers on whether their use of this material falls under the fair use doctrine.

The newspapers argue that the actions of OpenAI and Microsoft harm their subscription-based business models and misrepresent journalists' work. Despite the tech companies' claims of unintentional infringement, evidence suggests they knowingly obscured the use of copyrighted material. The outcome of this case could significantly impact the future of AI development and its relationship with traditional media.

• Newspapers accuse OpenAI and Microsoft of copyright infringement in AI training.

• The case could redefine fair use in the context of AI technologies.
