The Californian start-up OpenAI and its main investor and partner – Microsoft – are the subject of a new complaint in the United States for copyright infringement in the context of the development of ChatGPT, the conversational robot which since the end of 2022 launched the wave of generative artificial intelligence (AI). After the “New York Times” in December, it is the turn of eight local American dailies to sue these two tech companies.
“This lawsuit stems from the fact that (the companies) stole millions of publishers’ copyrighted articles, without permission or payment, in order to market their generative artificial intelligence products, including ChatGPT and Copilot (from Microsoft),” says the complaint filed in a New York court.
