NEW YORK — The New York Times is striking back against the threat that artificial intelligence poses to the news industry, filing a federal lawsuit Wednesday against OpenAI and Microsoft seeking to end the practice of using its stories to train chatbots. “Our ongoing conversations with the New York Times have been productive and moving forward constructively, so we are surprised and disappointed with this development,” the spokesperson said. Microsoft has a partnership with OpenAI that allows it to capitalize on the company’s AI technology. As AI technology develops, growing fears over its use have also fueled labor strikes and lawsuits in other industries, including Hollywood. Kreps said she agrees The New York Times is facing a threat from these chatbots.
