A group of news organizations, led by The New York Times, is taking ChatGPT maker OpenAI to federal court on Tuesday in a hearing that could determine whether the tech company has to face the publishers in a high-profile copyright infringement trial. The publishers argue that OpenAI's use of their copyrighted works for training its AI products is a massive infringement.
The publishers' core argument is that the data that powers ChatGPT has included millions of copyrighted works from the news organizations, articles that the publications argue were used without consent or payment... threatening their ability to provide their news service.
OpenAI has argued that the vast amount of data used to train its artificial intelligence bot has been protected by 'fair use' rules, which allow copyrighted material to be used under certain circumstances.
Lawyers for Microsoft, OpenAI's largest investor, wrote that it was not illegal for OpenAI to ingest that journalistic material for research purposes, emphasizing the legal protections for fair use.
