Newspapers Sue OpenAI and Microsoft Over AI Model Training Practices

Major newspapers allege copyright infringement by tech giants for using their content in AI models without permission.

Eight major newspapers, owned by Alden Global Capital, have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming illegal use of their copyrighted articles to train AI models.
The lawsuit highlights the use of articles in training AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot, which allegedly bypass copyright protections and misrepresent published content.
Publications involved include prominent names like The New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, and Orlando Sentinel.
The newspapers argue that such practices not only violate copyright law but also damage their reputations and the integrity of journalistic content.
Tech giants have yet to respond to the lawsuit, but past similar cases have seen defenses based on the fair use doctrine.
