Microsoft submitted a petition to the court for the ChatGPT copyright case filed by the New York Times. The company, which reaped the fruits of its large investment in OpenAI, accused the famous newspaper of being delusional. Accordingly, Microsoft and the New York Times believe that artificial intelligence will kill journalism.
According to Microsoft, the New York Times, which filed a copyright lawsuit against artificial intelligence, is dreaming
As you know, the New York Times, one of the most influential newspapers in the USA, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for ChatGPT. Microsoft, on the other hand, accused the New York Times newspaper, which filed a copyright lawsuit against artificial intelligence, of dreaming. Accordingly, Microsoft argues that the paper deliberately manipulates artificial intelligence.
The New York Times and OpenAI had long negotiations for copyrights for a while. However, after these negotiations failed, the New York Times took artificial intelligence to court. Accordingly, the newspaper reported that OpenAI also used New York Times news in ChatGPT-4 training without permission. The newspaper thus claims that users read the news through artificial intelligence without entering the New York Times website.
In this sense, the New York Times filed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI for using artificial intelligence’s news without permission. OpenAI, on the other hand, announced that it did not use New York Times news for ChatGPT-4. Microsoft and OpenAI claim that ChatGPT provided news through deliberate manipulation of the New York Times.
YÖK announced that new university departments related to artificial intelligence will be opened!
Erol Özvar, President of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), announced that new university departments related to artificial intelligence will be opened.
In the petition submitted to the court today, Microsoft requested that this case be rejected. Accordingly, the New York Times’ view of artificial intelligence as a threat to independent journalism is just a dystopia (Dystopias refer to a dark future scenario) scenario.
Microsoft asked the court to reject the claim that ChatGPT violated the New York Times’ copyrights. In particular, NYT claims that when users ask ChatGPT for help about breaking news, click-through rates will decrease and they will lose revenue. In its petition, Microsoft described all of NYT’s claims as exaggerated and unfounded.
Do you think the artificial intelligence copyright lawsuit filed by the New York Times is exaggerated? Do you think this case can really be dropped after Microsoft’s defense? We are waiting your comments.
