Seattle Times and Newsday Sue OpenAI and Microsoft Over Copyright Claims
The two news outlets allege OpenAI used their journalism without permission to train AI models and that ChatGPT sometimes reproduces passages from their reporting.
The Seattle Times and Newsday have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging copyright infringement, according to a report by The Verge.
The two publishers claim that OpenAI used their journalism as training data for its artificial intelligence models without obtaining permission, the report said.
According to the report, the outlets also allege that OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT, has at times reproduced passages from their reporting in response to user queries.
The lawsuit adds the Seattle Times and Newsday to a growing list of plaintiffs that have taken legal action against OpenAI over similar copyright claims, The Verge reported.
Microsoft, which has invested heavily in OpenAI and integrates its technology into products such as Bing and Copilot, was also named as a defendant in the suit, according to the report.
The Verge noted that the case follows a pattern of litigation from media organizations accusing OpenAI of using copyrighted material without authorization to develop its AI systems.
Neither OpenAI nor Microsoft's response to the specific allegations was detailed in the available report.
