Insight: "New York Times Sues OpenAI and Microsoft: A Battle Over AI and Copyright"

The New York Times, a major US news company, is suing OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, and Microsoft. They claim these companies used the New York Times' articles without permission to train ChatGPT. The lawsuit says that OpenAI and Microsoft should pay billions of dollars for this.

ChatGPT and other similar systems learn by looking at a lot of information from the internet. The New York Times says that millions of its articles were used to make ChatGPT smarter without their approval. The lawsuit also argues that ChatGPT is now being used as a reliable source of information, similar to the newspaper.

The lawsuit points out that ChatGPT sometimes gives exact parts of New York Times articles as answers. Since these articles are usually behind a paid subscription, it means people might get this information for free through ChatGPT, causing the newspaper to lose subscription money and website visits.

The lawsuit also talks about Bing, a search engine by Microsoft, using ChatGPT. It claims Bing shows results from the New York Times content without proper links or credit, affecting the newspaper's earnings.

Microsoft has invested a lot in OpenAI. The New York Times tried to solve this issue with Microsoft and OpenAI in April, but it didn't work, leading to this lawsuit in a federal court in Manhattan.

This lawsuit is not the only one OpenAI faces. In 2023, several lawsuits were filed against it. In September, authors like George RR Martin and John Grisham sued OpenAI for copyright infringement. Comedian Sarah Silverman and authors Margaret Atwood and Philip Pullman have also raised concerns about AI using their work. Additionally, OpenAI and Microsoft are being sued by some computer experts over another AI tool called Copilot, which they claim uses their code without permission.

There are also lawsuits against other AI companies that create media from text prompts, with artists suing companies like Stability AI and Midjourney for using copyrighted artwork to train their AIs. None of these lawsuits have been settled yet.
