Seattle Times and Newsday sue OpenAI and Microsoft for infringement

Summary

The Seattle Times and Newsday are the latest plaintiffs to sue OpenAI, alleging that it used their journalism as training data for its AI models without permission and often reproduces passages from their reporting in response to user queries. They also named Microsoft as a defendant since Copilot is built on OpenAI's technology. This follows similar lawsuits by The New York Times, Ziff Davis, Merriam-Webster, and Encyclopedia Britannica.
