Canadian news organizations sue OpenAI for ChatGPT copyright infringement

The coalition news outlets accused the company of “capitalizing and profiting” from the unauthorized use of their content for ChatGPT.

They’re seeking punitive damages from OpenAI, payments for any profits the ChatGPT creator made from using their news articles and a ban on further use of their content. “Hundreds of millions of people around the world rely on ChatGPT to improve their daily lives, inspire creativity, and solve hard problems,” an OpenAI spokesperson wrote. We collaborate closely with news publishers, including in the display, attribution and links to their content in ChatGPT search, and offer them easy ways to opt-out should they so desire.”
