Summary
A coalition owning nearly 400 local US newspapers has filed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that the AI companies illegally used their reporting to train AI models without permission or compensation. The publishers argue this practice threatens the viability of local journalism by allowing AI to repurpose their work without supporting the original reporting. This is the largest copyright case brought by local press against AI companies to date.
