Recent lawsuits have been filed against tech companies, including OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic, by various news outlets such as The Intercept, Raw Story, AlterNet, and The New York Times, alleging copyright infringement in the use of copyrighted material to train their AI models, specifically ChatGPT, with accusations involving the use of thousands of articles. Microsoft has responded to The New York Times' lawsuit by filing a motion to dismiss, accusing the newspaper of engaging in 'doomsday futurology' by predicting that ChatGPT could potentially ruin the news business.
