The New York Times filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI, alleging that the companies used millions of its articles to train AI systems including ChatGPT and Copilot, according to newscord.org. The Times now seeks to amend its complaint to allege that Microsoft encouraged OpenAI to use NYT works without permission by building a bespoke supercomputing system ranked among the most powerful in the world, as reported by cashwalklabs.io. The Times also presents evidence that ChatGPT outputs include near-verbatim reproductions of its articles and instances where AI falsely cited or fabricated NYT content, according to cashwalklabs.io. The newspaper claims its subscriptions are being substituted and its reputation harmed by AI-generated false attributions, according to newscord.org. The New York Times alleges illegal copying and use of unique works, and accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of trying to take advantage of its journalism investment, according to newscord.org. The motion to amend follows a Supreme Court ruling in which the Court sided with Cox Communications, setting a new standard for contributory infringement that requires plaintiffs to prove intentional inducement of illegal conduct. The Times’ lawsuit is one of more than 40 legal disputes between copyright holders and AI companies, according to newscord.org.
