USA Today joins the list of organizations taking legal action against OpenAI.

USA Today Co. and its affiliated local newspapers are taking legal action against OpenAI, alleging that the company used “hundreds of thousands” of their articles to train its AI models without permission. In a recent court filing, the publisher is seeking over $250 million in damages, claiming that OpenAI’s unauthorized use of its content has caused significant and ongoing harm to its publications.

This lawsuit adds to a growing list of copyright claims against OpenAI. Alongside a suit from The New York Times, the company is also facing legal challenges from The Intercept, Ziff Davis (owner of CNET), CBC/Radio-Canada, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Merriam-Webster, The Seattle Times, and a coalition of nearly 400 local newspapers.

The lawsuit from USA Today Co. asserts that OpenAI’s commercial success is built on widespread copyright infringement. It contends that OpenAI never sought permission to utilize its content, instead “taking” it to create products valued at hundreds of billions of dollars. The suit also names several other local outlets, including The Tennessean, Indy Star, The Columbus Dispatch, and The Oklahoman.

OpenAI has not yet provided a response to the allegations.
