The lawsuit, filed in the Ontario Superior Court, seeks damages and an injunction to stop OpenAI from using its materials. News organizations claim that OpenAI harvests data from its sites to collect data for its artificial intelligence models.
The lawsuit seeks damages of up to $20,000 per article used, and that amount is likely to reach billions of dollars. The media claims that OpenAI’s actions are illegal and “harmful to the public interest” because it “profits from journalistic work.”
The lawsuit follows similar lawsuits around the world, as other news organizations also sought damages for OpenAI’s use of their content.
