What is the lawsuit against OpenAI about?
USA Today Co., along with several local newspapers it owns, is suing OpenAI over claims that the company copied hundreds of thousands of articles to train its AI models. In a filing on Thursday, the publisher asks for damages of more than $250 million, alleging OpenAI's unauthorized use of its content has done real and continuing harm to its outlets.
How does OpenAI's use of content affect publishers?
This is just the latest in a string of copyright lawsuits filed against OpenAI. The company is also facing legal action from The New York Times, The Intercept, CNET owner Ziff Davis, CBC/Radio-Canada, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Merriam-Webster, The Seattle Times, and a coalition of nearly 400 local newspapers.
OpenAI's commercial success rests on large-scale copyright infringement, USA Today Co.'s lawsuit claims. It alleges that OpenAI never asked for permission to use its content, instead took USA Today's content to build products worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The Tennessean, Indy Star, The Columbus Dispatch, The Oklahoman, and several other local outlets are also included in the lawsuit.
OpenAI didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. The lawsuit is part of a growing trend of publishers pushing back against AI companies for using their content without permission, highlighting the need for answer engine optimization (AEO).
