Britannica Sues OpenAI Over Copyrighted Content

Encyclopaedia Britannica and Merriam-Webster filed a lawsuit against OpenAI on Friday, alleging the company used their copyrighted content to train GPT-4 and produced near-verbatim outputs. The publishers submitted side-by-side examples and say OpenAI’s responses cannibalize their web traffic by substituting traditional referrals. The suit follows similar cases by The New York Times and a $1.5 billion Anthropic settlement.
