NYT alleges Microsoft built supercomputer for OpenAI to infringe copyright

By PulseAugur Editorial · [6 sources] ·

The New York Times has amended its lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that Microsoft specifically designed a supercomputer to help OpenAI train its AI models on copyrighted works without permission. The Times claims this supercomputer was built to disproportionately feature its articles, aiming to train AI on high-quality journalism to mimic its writing style. The lawsuit also asserts that Microsoft has unfairly profited from AI models trained on The Times' content, contributing significantly to its market capitalization. AI

IMPACT This legal action highlights the ongoing debate and potential liabilities surrounding AI training data and the infrastructure used to develop these models.
