However, not all media outlets are against the tech giants' practices. The Associated Press has granted both OpenAI and Microsoft access to its news content for the next two years for AI training purposes. Similarly, Business Insider and Politico have agreed to allow the use of their online content. In recent months, other media outlets like BBC, Reuters, and CNN have blocked large language models from using their content without consent.
Key takeaways:
- The New York Times has filed lawsuits against OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, accusing them of using its data without permission for training their AI models.
- The AI models in question are those that power the companies' chatbots, including ChatGPT and Copilot.
- The lawsuit demands that both companies be held accountable for their actions and pay billions in damages for using content from numerous sources without consent.
- Other media outlets, including BBC, Reuters, and CNN, have also accused OpenAI and Microsoft of similar infringements, while some, like the Associated Press, have given the companies permission to use their content for AI training.
