New York Times Files Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Microsoft for Copyright Infringement 🤯
Source: The New York Times
The New York Times filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that the defendants infringed on copyrighted material without permission to develop their AI technologies.
Details:
The newspaper asserts that both companies have used millions of its articles without authorization to train AI systems like ChatGPT, thereby misappropriating the newspaper’s content.
The New York Times claims that OpenAI and Microsoft have caused 'billions of dollars' in damages and is seeking to hold them liable for both statutory and actual damages amounting to billions of dollars.
The Times seeks to compel them to destroy any AI models or training data sets that incorporate its content.
This action marks the first major U.S. media organization to take legal action against OpenAI and Microsoft over copyright concerns related to artificial intelligence training, and It is unlikely to be the last.
AI RESEARCH
AI Discovers First New Antibiotic in Over 60 Years

Researchers at MIT have used AI models to discover the first new class of antibiotics in over 60 years. This breakthrough could help combat drug-resistant bacteria like MRSA that are difficult to treat with current antibiotics.
Key details:
Models were trained on data from 39,000 compounds to predict antibiotic activity and toxicity, with the goal of identifying compounds that effectively combat microbes while minimizing harm to the human body
AI models screened 12 million compounds and identified promising antibiotic candidates.
Out of those candidates, two compounds were found to be effective in treating MRSA infections in mouse models.
The new antibiotic compounds require further testing, but represent a major milestone in the fight against antibiotic resistance. The ability of AI models to rapidly screen millions of candidates and identify those most likely to kill drug-resistant bacteria could transform and accelerate the drug discovery process.

AI startup Anthropic has increased its 2024 revenue forecast to over $850 million annualized, $350 million more than its projection just 3 months ago.
The reasons for the latest projections being materially higher aren't clear. The cofounders see Claude competing with OpenAI's popular ChatGPT. According to The Information, some people close to the company think $1 billion in annualized revenue in 2024 is possible for this quickly rising firm.
HD Hyundai partners with Google Cloud to speed up progress in AI innovation

Sony could use predictive AI on the PS6 to enhance the gaming experience.
A newly discovered Sony patent hints their next-gen PlayStation console could get smarter, literally. The patent outlines predictive AI tech that studies gameplay to provide real-time tips. This “predictive assistance” would monitor patterns and then react to help players when needed. To enable such features, Sony may add a dedicated AI processor, like an NPU, to handle complex neural net computing. While still rumors, it signals Sony's interest in making games more intuitive. If AI unlocks new engagement, it could give Sony an edge over Xbox.
That’s a wrap!
