A consortium of eight US newspapers owned by MediaNews Group, including the New York Daily News and Chicago Tribune, filed a federal copyright lawsuit accusing OpenAI and Microsoft of unlawfully copying millions of articles to train their AI systems. The complaint alleges ChatGPT reproduces copyrighted content verbatim and generates fabricated articles falsely attributed to the outlets, causing reputational harm. This adds to an expanding set of similar suits by the New York Times and other news organizations, establishing a pattern of high-profile IP litigation against frontier AI vendors over training-data provenance.
