400 small guys gang up to take on 2 big guys! Local newspapers sue OpenAI, Microsoft for mass copyright infringement

Led by the Long Island-based publisher Richner Communications, the civil complaint accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of three separate counts of copyright infringement, seeking statutory damages, actual damages, restitution of profits and attorney’s fees.

The publishers claim OpenAI and Microsoft “systematically and secretly crawled” hundreds of news websites — including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions — and copied articles, stories and other original works onto their own servers without authorization. https://www.courthousenews.com/newspapers-sue-openai-microsoft-for-mass-copyright-infringement/ #Lawsuit #TradeMark #CopyRight #Newspapers #Microsoft #OpenAI #DigitalTheft #Journalism #CivilLawsuit #LLMs #AI #AITraining

"When this rolls out to your account, you can visit Google’s My Activity page and then select the Search Services History tab to opt out. This page gives you a solid sense of what Google saves from your Search history. It’s also where you can turn off the entire setting and delete your activity. It’s critical to uncheck the box next to Save media if you don’t want your image uploads used for AI training.

It’s worth doing this change now rather than later. There’s not much you can do after your media data is thrown into the AI blender. “If your saved media is used to train our AI models, it is disconnected from your Google Account. This training data will be kept for up to 4 years, even if you delete the original activity,” read the pop-up when I turned off this feature. That’s such a long time for my random image Search uploads to float around in the digital ether."

Whoa! This could become a BIG deal .....

German court ruled Google Is liable for false statements generated by AI overviews presented in AI powered search results.

The ruling indicates that when an AI generates new statements that do not appear directly in its original sources, the company that designs, trains, operates, and manages the system must assume legal liability for any damages caused by those statements.

Further the Court held, correcting misinformation is not the responsibility of third parties. Google is the only entity with the ability to modify the technology underpinning its AI-generated summaries and, therefore, “must be held accountable.”

Is AI Quietly Learning From All of Us?

Not exactly.

Your one chat usually does not instantly update the model.

But millions of prompts, ratings, errors, uploads, and repeated requests can become signals for future AI models and features.

So the real question is:

Are we users… or unpaid product managers?
