Two American news organizations are suing OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing them of using their articles to train AI models. This case adds to a series of similar complaints, while Microsoft claims to be surprised and open to dialogue.
Microsoft Responds and Financial Links Are Mentioned
A spokesperson for Microsoft told GeekWire that the company is surprised by the lawsuit but remains open to discussions to find solutions to this type of conflict. The case is particularly notable because Microsoft and OpenAI have funded certain journalism projects and scholarships from the Seattle Times. Microsoft is also a partner and investor in OpenAI.
Plaintiffs' Grievances Regarding AI Training
The Seattle Times and Newsday claim that OpenAI and Microsoft have used their journalism to train AI systems. According to the lawsuit, the rise of AI could render the journalism industry "irreparable." The plaintiffs describe generative AI as "a snake eating its own tail," which risks "destroying the very organizations" from which it uses content. They argue that products like ChatGPT and Copilot, presented as content creators, actually consume articles written by humans and return copies or imitations for commercial purposes.
A Legal Context Already Initiated by The New York Times
In 2023, The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for alleged copyright infringement. Other publications have filed similar lawsuits as the case progressed. The Seattle Times and Newsday thus join the list of media plaintiffs against OpenAI and Microsoft.
