OpenAI is facing several lawsuits over copyrighted material used to train ChatGPT.
  • Publishers want compensation from OpenAI for using their works to train AI models.
  • The Center for Investigative Reporting filed a lawsuit against the company this week.
  • The New York Times and other outlets also have similar lawsuits against OpenAI.

OpenAI uses any and all publicly available data to train ChatGPT, including books and articles from the internet. Now, those who own them want to be paid for their work.
