Microsoft and OpenAI Ask Judge to Dismiss Copyright Claims

Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI Inc. informed a federal judge in New York on Friday that copyright claims against them must be dismissed. Publishers of books and news content had accused the companies of training artificial intelligence models on copyrighted material. The two firms asserted in their filing that this training process represents fair use and therefore does not violate copyright protections. They asked the court to absolve them of all such claims brought in the lawsuits. The matter remains pending before the judge with no ruling issued to date.
