Eight daily newspapers owned by Alden Global Capital have filed a lawsuit against Open AI and Microsoft, alleging copyright infringement. The newspapers claim that the tech companies used millions of copyrighted articles without permission to train AI chatbots. The publications argue that this reduces the need for readers to subscribe, depriving the publishers of revenue. OpenAI stated that they were not aware of the concerns but are engaged in conversations with news organizations. The lawsuit is part of a broader fight over the use of data for generative AI and follows similar lawsuits by The New York Times. The case raises concerns about the impact on civic life in America.
