A federal court in New York heard a lawsuit filed by eight American newspapers, including The New York Daily News and The Chicago Tribune, against OpenAI and Microsoft. They allege that the companies violated their copyright by using their articles to train artificial intelligence technologies such as chatbots ChatGPT and Co-pilot.
These newspapers are owned by Alden Global Capital, an investment fund based in Florida that acquired the Tribune publishing conglomerate in 2021. The lawsuit accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of using millions of copyrighted articles without permission or compensation to enhance their AI products.
The court document states that the defendants must obtain consent from the media and pay a fair value for using their content. Other newspapers involved in the lawsuit include The Orlando Sentinel, The Florida Sun Sentinel, The San Jose Mercury News, The Denver Post, The Orange County Register, and The St. Paul Pioneer Press.
OpenAI and Microsoft have not responded directly to the allegations but have stated that they support news organizations. OpenAI has mentioned constructive partnerships with news organizations worldwide. This lawsuit is similar to one filed by The New York Times in December where OpenAI was accused of using content without permission for its AI model.
In that case, OpenAI argued that using publicly available data constitutes fair use. Meanwhile, Microsoft has declined to comment on the lawsuit.
