Seattle Times and Newsday are the latest publications to sue OpenAI and Microsoft
《西雅图时报》与《新闻日报》成为最新起诉 OpenAI 和微软的出版机构
Two more news organizations are suing OpenAI and Microsoft over the supposed use of their journalism to train AI. 又有两家新闻机构因 OpenAI 和微软涉嫌使用其新闻内容训练人工智能而提起诉讼。
A lawsuit filed by The Seattle Times and Newsday argued that with the advent of AI, the journalism industry could become “broken beyond repair.” 《西雅图时报》（The Seattle Times）和《新闻日报》（Newsday）提交的诉讼指出，随着人工智能的出现，新闻行业可能会变得“无法修复”。
The lawsuit described generative AI as “a snake eating its own tail” that could “destroy the very organizations” that produce the content it’s trained on. 诉讼将生成式人工智能描述为“一条吞噬自己尾巴的蛇”，可能会“摧毁那些为其提供训练内容的核心机构”。
“AI products like ChatGPT and CoPilot are touted as producers of content, but in fact they are rapacious consumers, devouring human-authored content and delivering back to the world copies and derivative imitations of that same original content they consumed to achieve their commercial objectives,” the lawsuit said. 诉讼称：“像 ChatGPT 和 CoPilot 这样的人工智能产品被吹捧为内容生产者，但实际上它们是贪婪的消费者，吞噬着人类创作的内容，并为了实现其商业目标，将所消费内容的副本和衍生模仿品回馈给世界。”
Back in 2023, The New York Times sued OpenAI and its partner/investor Microsoft over alleged copyright infringement; other publications have followed suit as the case continued. 早在 2023 年，《纽约时报》就因涉嫌版权侵权起诉了 OpenAI 及其合作伙伴/投资者微软；随着案件的持续，其他出版机构也纷纷效仿。
The Seattle Times’ lawsuit is particularly notable because Microsoft and OpenAI have funded some of the organization’s journalism projects and fellowships. 《西雅图时报》的诉讼尤为引人注目，因为微软和 OpenAI 此前曾资助过该机构的一些新闻项目和研究奖学金。
A Microsoft spokesperson told GeekWire that the company is “surprised by the lawsuit” but is “always happy to sit down and explore solutions to this type of dispute.” 微软发言人向 GeekWire 表示，公司对这起诉讼感到“惊讶”，但“始终乐于坐下来探讨解决此类纠纷的方案”。
