Seattle Times and Newsday sue OpenAI and Microsoft for infringement

《西雅图时报》与《新闻日报》起诉 OpenAI 和微软侵权

The Seattle Times and Newsday are just the latest plaintiffs to take OpenAI to court, alleging copyright infringement. The two outlets say the company used their journalism as training data for its AI models without permission and often reproduces passages from their reporting in response to user queries. This is similar to lawsuits filed by The New York Times, Ziff Davis, Merriam-Webster, and Encyclopedia Britannica against OpenAI.

《西雅图时报》（The Seattle Times）和《新闻日报》（Newsday）是最新一批将 OpenAI 告上法庭的原告，指控其侵犯版权。这两家媒体表示，OpenAI 未经许可便将他们的报道用作 AI 模型的训练数据，并且在回答用户查询时经常复述其报道中的段落。这与《纽约时报》、Ziff Davis、韦氏词典（Merriam-Webster）和大英百科全书（Encyclopedia Britannica）针对 OpenAI 提起的诉讼类似。

The Seattle Times and Newsday also named Microsoft as a defendant in the suit, since Copilot is built on OpenAI’s technology. The publishers join a list of nearly 400 local newspapers that recently sued the two companies, saying that because the chatbots reduce the need to visit their sites for reporting and answers, they cost them valuable subscription revenue.

《西雅图时报》和《新闻日报》还将微软列为被告，因为 Copilot 是基于 OpenAI 的技术构建的。这两家出版商加入了一个由近 400 家地方报纸组成的行列，这些报纸最近起诉了这两家公司，称聊天机器人减少了用户访问其网站获取报道和答案的需求，从而导致他们损失了宝贵的订阅收入。

As part of the suit, The Seattle Times and Newsday are seeking the destruction of any copies of their works the companies are holding, as well as training datasets and AI models that incorporate them. OpenAI and Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

作为诉讼的一部分，《西雅图时报》和《新闻日报》要求销毁这两家公司所持有的任何其作品副本，以及包含这些作品的训练数据集和 AI 模型。OpenAI 和微软没有立即回应置评请求。
