Eight daily newspapers owned by Alden Global Capital, the second largest U.S. newspaper operator, have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft for allegedly using copyrighted articles to train AI, The New York Times’ Katie Robertson reports. The lawsuit does not demand specific monetary damages, but asks for a jury trial and said the publishers, including The New York Daily News, The Chicago Tribune, The Orlando Sentinel, The Sun Sentinel of Florida, The San Jose Mercury News, are owed compensation from the use of the content. “We’ve spent billions of dollars gathering information and reporting news at our publications, and we can’t allow OpenAI and Microsoft to expand the Big Tech playbook of stealing our work to build their own businesses at our expense,” Frank Pine, the executive editor overseeing Alden’s newspapers, said in a statement.
