US Media Outlets Seek Severe Sanctions Against OpenAI in Copyright Lawsuit

12    2026-07-10

On July 9 local time, a group of leading US media outlets led by The New York Times filed a joint motion in federal court seeking "severe sanctions" against OpenAI. The long-running copyright lawsuit accuses OpenAI of training its ChatGPT models on vast amounts of journalistic content without authorization, violating intellectual property rights. Plaintiffs allege improper evidence preservation by OpenAI during litigation and are urging the court to impose heavier penalties. The case is a landmark in global AI copyright governance, with its ruling set to have far-reaching implications for training data compliance rules for large language models.
