OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is facing legal action from five major Canadian news outlets: Torstar, Postmedia, The Globe and Mail, The Canadian Press, and CBC/Radio-Canada
According to the lawsuit, OpenAI routinely violates online terms of service and copyright by using massive amounts of news information to train its AI models.
The plaintiffs contend that this unapproved use of copyrighted content is a serious violation of intellectual property rights and jeopardises the financial stability of Canadian news organisations.
The legal challenge aims to preserve the value of journalistic work and hold those responsible for the unlawful use of news content accountable.
The result might have a big impact on how AI develops in the future and how it interacts with copyrighted content.
