Newspapers sue OpenAI, Microsoft for mass copyright infringement

The publishers argue that this digital theft is severely damaging an already struggling local journalism sector, threatening the sustainability of independent news outlets. This legal battle underscores a broader conflict over how AI training data is sourced and the potential long-term impacts on traditional media industries.
