A group of fourteen publishers, including notable names like Condé Nast and Forbes, have initiated legal action against the AI startup Cohere, alleging extensive copyright infringement. The publishers claim that Cohere improperly utilized over 4,000 copyrighted works to train its AI models, thereby displaying significant portions or complete articles. This alleged act is said to have damaged the publishers' referral traffic. Additionally, the lawsuit contends that Cohere has infringed on trademarks by producing misleading content attributed to these publishers. This case reflects a growing trend of legal challenges against AI firms regarding intellectual property rights.
A consortium of fourteen publishers, including Condé Nast and Forbes, has sued Cohere for alleged "massive, systematic" copyright infringement related to generative AI.
The lawsuit claims Cohere used over 4,000 copyrighted works to train its AI models, negatively impacting the publishers' referral traffic and infringing on their trademarks.
In the ongoing legal landscape, AI companies are navigating IP violations, with some like OpenAI opting for content licensing to avoid future lawsuits.
The lawsuit against Cohere marks the latest instance of publishers taking a stand against AI firms over intellectual property concerns, highlighting tensions in the industry.
