OpenAI and Microsoft Face Multiple Copyright Infringement Lawsuits

The lawsuits, filed by AlterNet, The Intercept, and Raw Story, allege the companies used copyrighted content without consent to train AI models.

Three news outlets, AlterNet, The Intercept, and Raw Story, have filed separate lawsuits against OpenAI and Microsoft in the Southern District of New York, alleging copyright infringement.
The complaints center around ChatGPT, accusing it of regurgitating copyrighted journalistic works without proper attribution or consent.
The lawsuits claim OpenAI and Microsoft were aware of the copyright infringement risks, citing the creation of opt-out tools for content owners.
Other major lawsuits against AI companies over similar issues include actions by The New York Times, Getty Images, and Universal Music Group.
OpenAI is currently seeking to dismiss a lawsuit by The New York Times, which alleges misleading evidence was generated by exploiting a bug in ChatGPT.
