Two more news organizations sue OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement

Engadget

The two news organizations who filed the legal action on Friday called generative AI "a snake eating its own tail" that would destroy the news organizations and content that it trained on. In the lawsuit, Seattle Times and Newsday alleged that OpenAI and Microsoft were "methodically scraping" news articles in a way that bypasses paywalls. The news organizations claimed that this method of training AI models has harmed their business models, giving users an AI-generated alternative to news articles and reducing the traffic and digital advertising revenue for Seattle Times and Newsday. Seattle Times and Newsday join a growing list of news organizations that have started a legal battle against AI companies. In 2023, the New York Times set the precedent by filing a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft for similar reasons.

Companies found in violation of this law would be subject to fines of up to $500,000 every time artificial intelligence is used to alter images to depict the intimate parts of a person in such a way that a reasonable person would believe that the intimate part belongs to the identifiable individual.
