Canadian Media Giants Launch Billion-Dollar Copyright Lawsuit Against OpenAI

Canadian media companies, including the owners of the National Post and Toronto Star, have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing it of illegally using their journalism to train its GPT model without permission or compensation. The plaintiffs seek damages and an injunction to prevent further use of their content, potentially amounting to billions of dollars. OpenAI defends its actions under "fair use" but faces similar lawsuits from US media groups. Some media companies have opted to license their content to OpenAI instead.
