The NYT takes OpenAI to court for broad, total copyright infringement

A coalition of major news outlets, including The New York Times and the New York Daily News, is taking legal action against OpenAI and Microsoft over allegations of unauthorized use of their copyrighted articles to train AI models.

The media companies argue this has harmed their business models and seek billions in damages, alongside injunctions against further infringement. OpenAI and Microsoft maintain their usage constitutes fair use.

A judge will review motions to dismiss and provide a ruling soon.
