The USA TODAY lawsuit filed against OpenAI on Thursday, Oct. 8, makes USA TODAY Co. the latest news publisher to take the ChatGPT maker to court, and one of the largest by footprint. The company, formerly known as Gannett, and 13 affiliated entities say OpenAI copied “hundreds of thousands” of articles from 19 of their newspapers into the training data behind ChatGPT, then used them to answer readers’ questions. They want more than $250 million in damages, a jury trial, and an order to destroy any GPT model trained on their journalism.
The case was first reported by Reuters and picked up the same afternoon by The Verge, which noted that “this is just the latest in a string of copyright lawsuits filed against OpenAI.”
