OpenAI and Microsoft are also facing lawsuits from a group of eight publications owned by Alden Global Capital, The Intercept, Raw Story, AlterNet, and The Denver Post. The New York Times has already spent $1 million on its lawsuit against the two companies. OpenAI and Microsoft have not yet responded to requests for comment on CIR’s lawsuit.
Key takeaways:
- The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) is suing Microsoft and OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement, claiming they used their stories without permission or compensation.
- Other media outlets, including The New York Times, have also taken legal action against Microsoft and OpenAI for similar reasons.
- CIR alleges that Microsoft and OpenAI's actions have undermined their relationships with readers and partners, and deprived them of revenue.
- OpenAI has stated that they are working with the news industry and global news publishers to display their content in their products, driving traffic back to the original articles.
