A group of major newspaper publishers, including the Chicago Tribune and New York Daily News, accuse two of the biggest artificial intelligence companies of stealing their content to improve their products.That accusation comes in a civil lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in New York. The lawsuit targets two of the biggest generative AI platforms in the world, Open AI, the creators of ChatGPT, and Microsoft's CoPiot AI program.
'Despite admitting that they need copyrighted content to produce a commercially viable GenAI product, the defendants contend they can fuel the creation and operation of these products with the Publishers' content without permission or paying for the privilege.'They are wrong on both counts.
