The New York Times also filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing them of using its content without permission to develop their AI products. Despite the lawsuit, Nvidia is nearing the position of the world's second-most valuable company, with its market capitalization close to the $2.38 trillion mark.
