The New York Times (NYT) has filed a copyright infringement suit against OpenAI and Microsoft (MSFT), arguing that millions of the publication’s articles were used to train automated chatbots that now compete with The Times as a source of reliable information, the New York Times’ Michael Grynbaum and Ryan Mac report, citing the suit. The suit does not include a specific monetary demand, but stated the defendants should be held responsible for “billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages” related to the “unlawful copying and use of The Times’s uniquely valuable works.” It also calls on the companies to destroy any chatbot models and training data that use copyrighted material.
