Newly unsealed documents in a three-year-old copyright lawsuit by The New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft reveal internal admissions that AI training on copyrighted content amounts to theft and poses an existential threat to publishers. Microsoft executives described the practice as "theft" and acknowledged that AI products like ChatGPT substitute original news content, harming publishers' revenues significantly. The companies allegedly bypassed paywalls and stripped copyright notices to build massive training datasets, including over 91,000 works from major news outlets. This challenges the fair use defense AI firms rely on, as internal data shows AI-driven search reduced traffic to The New York Times by up to 93%. The case highlights ongoing legal and ethical debates over AI's use of copyrighted material and its impact on journalism.
