In a clash of titans, a group of newspapers, led by the New York Daily News and Chicago Tribune, have taken legal action against tech giants Microsoft and OpenAI. The newspapers, owned by Alden Global Capital's MediaNews Group, have accused the companies of using their articles without permission to train their AI systems. This battle highlights the growing tension between traditional media and the tech industry over intellectual property rights. The outcome of this lawsuit could have far-reaching implications for the future of AI development and journalism.
