OpenAI of ChatGPT fame has emerged as the poster child of the AI revolution. The AI models behind the famous AI assistant have, however, started to attract unwanted attention in recent months. For example, news publication The Guardian has reported that a group of major news organizations in Canada have sued the AI firm for allegedly strip-mining journalism and unjustly enriching itself by using news articles to train the popular ChatGPT software. Per the report, the suit was filed in the superior court of justice in Ontario and calls for punitive damages, a share of profits made by OpenAI from using the articles, and an injunction barring the San Francisco-based company from using any of the news articles in the future.
