As our world progresses toward the Age of AI, much legal infrastructure will need to be developed and precedents need to be set. Case in point, in the video published on Dec 28, 2023, by David Shapiro, as “OpenAI sued by NYT! New York Times demands that ChatGPT be DELETED! The end of GPT? Probably not…“, below:
The New York Times Co. sued Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI Inc. for using its content to help develop artificial intelligence services like ChatGPT. The lawsuit says this caused billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages. Fred Havemeyer, head of US AI and software research, talks about the implications of this case on “Bloomberg Surveillance.” in the video published on Dec 28, 2023, by Bloomberg Television”, as “NY Times Sues Microsoft, OpenAI for Copyright Breaches“, below:
The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, claiming that the companies used its articles to train their AI models. The Times argues that these models can generate content similar to its own, damaging its relationship with readers and revenue. The publication is seeking billions of dollars in damages and wants the court to prevent OpenAI and Microsoft from using its content. Some commenters support the Times, while others debate the definition of copyright infringement and the implications for AI and creativity, in the video published on Dec 28, 2023, by AI Insight News, as “The New York Times vs. OpenAI & Microsoft: A Battle for Copyright in the Age of AI“, below:
New York Times has initiated legal proceedings against OpenAI and Microsoft for unauthorisingly copying its content to build their artificial intelligence models. In its lawsuit, NYT alleged that OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot “generate output that recites Times content verbatim, closely summarises it, and mimics its expressive style.” Join News9’s Shweta Kothari and Amit Ranjan for more details on this story, in the video published on Dec 28, 2023, by NEWS9 Live, as “New York Times Sues OpenAI, Microsoft For Using Its Content To Feed AI Models|News9“, below:
The New York Times (NYT) is suing OpenAI and Microsoft (MSFT) for allegedly using millions of articles without permission to train its AI chatbots. MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy Director Sinan Aral and Newsroom Robots Podcast host Nikita Roy discuss the details of the copyright lawsuit and potential implications for the publishing industry with Yahoo Finance Live. Roy says she was “completely expecting” this scenario, suggesting the Times is “helping” smaller publishers lacking resources to take legal action. However, she notes accusing chatbots of infringement is “complex,” hinging on whether courts deem AI a tool or if liability falls on the user. Still, Roy stresses that “we are facing a very ethical issue” regarding how creators’ work gets utilized. “This is a debate about whether the companies training large language models on content from the web… is fair use or infringement of copyright,” Aral states. If courts mandate payments to original data producers, costs could rise significantly for AI firms. However, Aral believes “this was expected,” and the only question that remains is “where does the price point lie?” For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Yahoo Finance Live, in the video published on Dec 27, 2023, by Yahoo Finance, as “Microsoft vs. NYT: AI copyright suit will be ‘complex’“, below:
