In their formal complaint, these media outlets assert that OpenAI is unlawfully leveraging their journalism for profit while neglecting essential copyright protections. They are seeking financial compensation and a prohibition on the use of their content going forward. OpenAI, on its part, maintains that its use of public data aligns with fair use principles and states that it is open to collaborating with publishers to address their concerns.

The Canadian coalition's claim is aimed at holding OpenAI accountable for its practices and ensuring the rights of creators are recognized in the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
