On September 9, 2026, the lawsuit filed by Newsday and The Seattle Times against OpenAI and Microsoft emerged as a key development in the ongoing legal battle concerning AI training data, specifically regarding the alleged unauthorized use of copyrighted and paywalled journalism to train artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT and Copilot. Previously, on September 8, the news organizations sued OpenAI and Microsoft in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that the tech companies copied their journalism without permission to train their AI systems. The lawsuit claims OpenAI and Microsoft scraped copyrighted and paywalled content from the newspapers' websites and incorporated these articles into datasets used to train and operate products such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Bing's AI features. This alleged unauthorized use of journalistic material by OpenAI and Microsoft constitutes systematic copyright violation, enabling AI systems to reproduce or imitate copyrighted reporting while competing with the organizations that originally produced it.
