The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging the unauthorized use of its journalistic content to train AI models, which it views as a significant threat to independent news organizations. This lawsuit joins others from major media entities like The New York Times and bestselling authors who accuse OpenAI of copyright violations. Concurrently, OpenAI has announced a multi-year content partnership with Time magazine, granting it access to over a century of Time's archives to enhance its AI models. In return, Time will gain access to OpenAI's technology to develop new products, with assurances that AI-generated content will cite and link back to the original sources. These partnerships are part of OpenAI's broader strategy to collaborate with media companies, despite ongoing legal challenges.
