OpenAI and Microsoft for training AI models on the newspaper's work.Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
Il New York Times is the first major media organization to sue the creators of Chat GPT for copyright. The ruling could set a precedent for the future of fair use laws related to artificial intelligence. The lawsuit claims that OpenAI and Microsoft have trained AI models on copyrighted data from the New York Times. Additionally, it states that ChatGPT and Bing Chat often reproduce long, verbatim copies of the articles New York Times. This allows ChatGPT users to bypass the paywall of the New York Times and the lawsuit claims that generative AI is now a competitor to newspapers as a source of reliable information. The cause of New York Times aims to hold the companies liable for “billions of dollars in legal and actual damages” and seeks the destruction “of all GPT or other LLM templates and training sets that incorporate Times Works.”
Courts will ultimately have to decide whether AI training on the Internet is protected by fair use laws in the United States. The fair use doctrine allows limited use of copyrighted works. In certain circumstances, such as short article snippets in Google search results. The Times' lawyers say ChatGPT and Bing Chat's use of copyrighted material is different than in search results. This is because search engines provide a highly visible hyperlink to the publisher's article, while Microsoft chatbots and OpenAI hide the source of the information.
According to the New York Times, Apple recently began negotiating deals with major news publishers. This work is believed to lead Apple to use their content in corporate training on generative AI systems. When it comes to public announcements, Apple has lagged behind its competitors in the field of artificial intelligence. Appli's ability to circumvent major copyright cases that OpenAI and Microsoft are facing would give it a significant chance to catch up. The same OpenAI recently struck a partnership with publisher Axel Springer to use Politico and other publishers' content in ChatGPT responses. Reportedly, the New York Times has contacted OpenAI for a partnership in April, but no resolution was reached.
The outcome of this lawsuit, and others like it in San Francisco, could have important implications for the future of generative artificial intelligence. Early innovators in the field of artificial intelligence, such as Google, Adobe and Microsoft, have offered to protect users in court. All users if they faced a copyright lawsuit, but these companies were accused of copyright infringement. The cause of New York Times will help determine whether OpenAI and Microsoft's role in the artificial intelligence revolution. If the Times wins, it would be a great opportunity for other big tech giants like Apple and Google to move forward.
