New York Times Sues OpenAi, Microsoft: How defining fair use will impact businesses

Overview

In this episode, Jess Carter discusses the groundbreaking lawsuit just filed by The New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement.

She shares an eye-opening conversation she had with ChatGPT upon asking it a specific question, then inquiring about its sources.
