NYT slams Microsoft for building copyright-infringing supercomputer for OpenAI

The New York Times has updated its ongoing copyright litigation against Microsoft and OpenAI to emphasize the development of large-scale computing infrastructure used to train artificial intelligence models. The newspaper argues that these systems rely on the unauthorized reproduction of protected journalism, citing recent legal precedents to challenge the defendants' fair use protections. This shift aims to strengthen the argument that the creation of these massive datasets and the underlying hardware constitutes a systematic violation of intellectual property rights.
