The lawsuit, filed<\/a> in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, claims the practice violates federal copyright law. Benzinga contacted Microsoft and OpenAI for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.<\/p>\n

Microsoft and OpenAI are partners in developing and deploying AI systems that generate text-based responses. The publishers argue that copyrights protect their journalism and that using it to train AI models requires permission and compensation. They are seeking a court ruling that the alleged unauthorized use constitutes copyright infringement, along with an order preventing further use of their content.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit adds to a growing wave of legal challenges from publishers, authors and other content creators, as courts weigh how copyright law applies to AI models trained on publicly available and copyrighted material.<\/p>\n

In March, Grammarly faced a lawsuit <\/a>over the alleged use of its Expert Review AI tool. Julia Angwin, a contributing opinion editor at The New York Times, alleges that the tool used her name and others\u2019 without prior consent.<\/p>\n
