A group of Canadian media companies like CBC/Radio-Canada, The Toronto Star, and The Globe and Mail have taken legal action against OpenAI, claiming that the company’s ChatGPT product used their journalism without permission. This is a copyright infringement case. The media companies are asking for compensation and a court order to stop OpenAI from using their content in the future.
They argue that OpenAI is making money by using their content without following copyright laws and online rules. But OpenAI says that their AI models are trained on public information in a fair way, and they have agreements with news organizations to make sure they give credit. The media companies say that OpenAI is hurting the value of journalism by using it for profit.
They also question OpenAI’s claim of fair use. This case is similar to others against AI companies for using copyrighted materials. The result of this case could change how copyright laws work in the AI world.
