The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing them of copyright infringement. The publication claims that the companies used millions of its articles to build their artificial intelligence models, which now directly compete with their content. The large language models developed by OpenAI and Microsoft can allegedly generate output that closely resembles Times content and mimics its style. The lawsuit argues that this undermines the Times’ relationship with readers and deprives them of revenue. The publication has tried to negotiate with the companies, but a solution has not been reached. The New York Times is seeking damages and an injunction to prevent the companies from using its content.
