OpenAI defeats news outlets' copyright lawsuit over AI training, for now

Federal Judge Dismisses Copyright Suit Against OpenAI by Raw Story and AlterNet, Citing Insufficient Harm

A New York federal judge dismissed a lawsuit from Raw Story and AlterNet, which claimed OpenAI used their articles without permission to train its AI model, ChatGPT. U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon ruled the outlets could not demonstrate sufficient harm to support their claims but permitted them to refile if they could establish a "cognizable injury." The case is one of many lawsuits against tech firms over the data used to train generative AI, highlighting ongoing copyright concerns in AI development.
