NY Times Sues OpenAI & Microsoft for Unlawful Copying

New York Times Files Lawsuit Against Microsoft and OpenAI Over Article Use

Last week, the New York Times filed a lawsuit in the Manhattan federal court against Microsoft and OpenAI, claiming that the defendants have used millions of its articles to train and create their large language models (LLMs) and other products. The lawsuit alleges that Microsoft and OpenAI have engaged in systematic and competitive infringement, which goes against the law. The New York Times is seeking damages in the realms of billions of dollars, though no specific number has been mentioned.
