Before the zealous backers of artificial intelligence can revolutionize the world, they’ll have to prove they aren’t violating copyright law.
The New York Times has marshaled a major legal challenge against AI companies, alleging that Microsoft and OpenAI engaged in wide-scale copying, hijacking the Times’ journalism to train its AI chatbots. The lawsuit is the latest in a broader dispute over how courts should view the legality of training large language models using the published work of others without compensation.
Permissive interpretations of AI and intellectual property could shield AI companies from liability not just when it comes to disputes with the Times and other news outlets, but with visual artists, record labels, and authors who have filed their own lawsuits against the makers of generative AI tools.
