A new chapter is beginning in the battle over artificial intelligence and the training of AI technologies: Today, The New York Times, one of the most influential media organizations in the world, is suing OpenAI and Microsoft, which is the partnership most responsible for creating ChatGPT, a generative AI chatbot that uses large language data sets to model and create text, images and video in a humanlike manner.
The newspaper claims that "millions of articles published by The Times were used to train automated chatbots that now compete with the news outlet as a source of reliable information," according to a news story in The New York Times.
