The AI industry is facing a major challenge in the form of copyright infringement lawsuits.
The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI, alleging that their chatbots used millions of articles without permission.
Other lawsuits have also been filed by illustrators, photographers, authors, and anonymous social media users.
Congress and AI experts are calling for AI companies to pay licensing fees for the material they use to train their models.
A study shows that leading AI image generators were trained on copyrighted material and can reproduce it without being prompted.
This issue raises concerns about the lack of attribution and the vulnerability of users who may unknowingly infringe copyrights.
