More US local outlets sue Microsoft and OpenAI over AI training
AI summary
DoNews and cnBeta report that a further group of US local news organizations has sued Microsoft and OpenAI, alleging tens of thousands of their news articles were used to train AI models without authorization. Both outlets frame it as the latest in a wave of infringement suits over news content used for model training, but neither names the plaintiffs, the court or any damages sought.
Why it matters: Accumulating copyright litigation could shape how AI companies source and pay for training data.
