Episode Details

Seattle Times and Newsday have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, accusing them of stealing their journalism to train AI models like ChatGPT and Copilot — even producing near-identical or rephrased content that could replace the need for subscriptions. This follows the New York Times’ similar suit last year, sparking a wave of copyright claims from publishers. The papers argue their costly, original reporting deserves protection, seeking court orders to dismantle AI systems built on their content. OpenAI cites fair use for training on public data, while Microsoft expressed surprise but affirmed support for local journalism and openness to solutions. The case is part of a growing legal and ethical debate over AI training data ownership.
