"The lawsuit alleges OpenAI copied nearly 100,000 articles from Britannica's material and claims ChatGPT can reproduce content almost verbatim, which risks reducing online traffic to their own websites."
"Britannica also accused OpenAI of trademark infringement, as the AI responses sometimes reference Britannica in a way that could give the impression the material is being used with permission."
Britannica and its subsidiary Merriam-Webster filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging the company used their encyclopedia and dictionary content to train AI models including ChatGPT without authorization. The lawsuit claims OpenAI copied approximately 100,000 Britannica articles, and that ChatGPT can reproduce this content nearly verbatim, potentially reducing traffic to Britannica's websites. Additionally, Britannica alleges trademark infringement, noting that ChatGPT sometimes references Britannica in ways suggesting the material was used with permission. Britannica seeks financial compensation and court intervention to halt OpenAI's use of their intellectual property.
