Litigants say AI company used their articles to train its popular ChatGPT software without authorization
Canada’s major news organizations have sued tech firm OpenAI for potentially billions of dollars, alleging the company “unjustly enriched” itself by using news articles to train its popular ChatGPT software.
The suit, filed on Friday in Ontario’s superior court of justice, calls for punitive damages, a share of profits made by OpenAI from using the news organizations’ articles, and an injunction barring the San Francisco-based company from using any of the news articles in the future.
