Media Alliance Report Claims AI Chatbots Like ChatGPT Violate Copyright Laws By Training on Protected News Content

News Media Alliance released a 77-page white paper arguing ChatGPT and other AI chatbots rely heavily on copyrighted news articles to train, violating fair use laws.

The report says AI developers' claim they only use published material to train models is inaccurate, as models retain factual expressions in training materials protected by copyright.

The rise of AI like ChatGPT is concerning for media industry, as chatbots could theoretically summarize information and replace reporters.

Authors including John Grisham and George R.R. Martin sued OpenAI for training ChatGPT on copyrighted books.

Report says if internet is flooded with AI content, AI will have nothing left to train on, harming creativity.
