The New York Times has become the first major US media company to sue OpenAI and Microsoft over their artificial intelligence chatbots, as the news outlet has claimed that it has taken a “free-ride” on millions of articles to build the groundbreaking technology.
The newspaper is seeking unspecified billions of dollars in damages for two companies profiting from the massive copyright infringement, misappropriation, and commercial exploration of The Time’s intellectual property.
The move comes as media companies are concerned that generative AI models, which are able to create human-like text and codes in second, might have fed on their content at time of its creation without any compensation or permission.
The AI groups have said that they have ingested the vast amount of information available on the internet for “fair use” under US copyright laws. Meanwhile, the publishers fear onto losing out traffic, which will result in drop in their revenues, due to OpenAI’s popular chatbot ChatGPT.
