As a gamer with years of experience navigating the digital landscape, I find myself deeply concerned about this ongoing legal battle between OpenAI and various news organizations. As someone who relies on the internet for gaming news, I can’t help but feel a sense of unease when the very foundation of online content – copyright law – is being challenged.
OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, are facing lawsuits from a new group of news organizations who claim they used their articles to educate their AI systems. This round of legal action comes from prominent Canadian media entities.
On Friday, Torstar, Postmedia, The Globe and Mail, The Canadian Press, and CBC/Radio-Canada collectively filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The lawsuit claims that OpenAI, under Sam Altman’s leadership, is breaching their copyright by using news media companies’ original works without permission, which is a violation of copyright laws.
Several publishers and copyright owners have filed lawsuits against the major AI company, alleging that OpenAI unlawfully utilized their content – specifically articles from various media outlets – to educate its automated chatbot systems, without providing due compensation or obtaining necessary permissions.
The Canadian media has accused OpenAI of frequently violating copyright laws and internet usage terms by gathering substantial amounts of their content for product development, including ChatGPT. This content is being utilized and generating profit for OpenAI, without prior consent or payment to the original content creators.
Their claim aims to address the “inappropriate and illegal use of Canadian content, and enforce Canadian laws.” The lawsuit, led by legal firm Lenczner Slaght LLP, seeks punitive damages from OpenAI and a permanent injunction against the AI giant from using their news articles.
The court action out of Canada expands a multi-front legal battle against OpenAI that includes earlier legal claims from The New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Denver Post. Media organizations that have reached arrangements with OpenAI include Axel Springer, owner of Politico and Business Insider; News Corp.; The Associated Press; the Financial Times; Vox Media and The Atlantic.
