The American newspaper The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, saying that millions of news items printed in the newspaper were used without permission to prepare chatbots of the large language model, which are in discussion recently.

According to the New York Times, on Wednesday, the New York Times filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court against Microsoft, which has invested in OpenAI and OpenAI, the maker of AI tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot. The New York Times has filed a lawsuit saying that the chatbot manufacturers are taking advantage of the significant investment in journalism.

"The initiative to alienate our readers from us by using our information to copy our news content is in no way a transformative practice," the New York Times said, "and exposes defendants to billions of dollars in moral and actual damages for illegally copying our critical content." It should be done.'

The New York Times, which has a history of about 172 years, has also called for the destruction of the training data of chatbot models prepared using any of its copyrighted material.

In this regard, OpenAI has responded that it respects the rights of content creators and those who own them. OpenAI also told the news agency Reuters that the dialogue with the New York Times was positive and that it expects a constructive collaboration. OpenAI officials responded that the case was a matter of surprise and saddened by it.
