Journalism vs The Future | Understanding the Coming AI Wars (VL774)
286On December 27, 2023, The New York Times Company sued Microsoft and OpenAI for (what amounts to) copyright infringement in the use of NYT materials to train OpenAI's products, a use the defendants assure is "fair" under copyright law. But with so many already using ChatGPT and similarly developed products, the question becomes "Who's right?" and perhaps more importantly, "Is the law even equipped to properly deal with that?"\n\nLet's talk about it...LIVE.\n\nKEY POINTS
- The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI, claiming that the training and usage of generative AI models like ChatGPT infringe on their copyright by copying and utilizing the Times' content without permission or payment.
- OpenAI's stance is that training AI models using publicly available internet materials, including content from the New York Times, is a fair use supported by widely accepted precedents, and they have expressed a willingness to collaborate with news organizations to create new opportunities.
- The lawsuit raises significant legal questions about the intersection of AI technology and copyright law, including whether the training of AI models on copyrighted materials constitutes infringement and who owns the output generated by AI models.
