The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft over the use of millions of the newspaper's articles without permission to help train its artificial intelligence chatbots that now compete with it. The move has intensified the legal battle over the unauthorized use of published work to train AI technologies.
The Times is the first major American media organization to sue OpenAI and Microsoft, which created ChatGPT and other AI platforms, over copyright issues.
