内容总结：

两家美国媒体机构近日对人工智能公司OpenAI及其合作伙伴微软提起诉讼，指控其未经授权使用新闻内容训练AI模型，构成版权侵权。

《西雅图时报》和《新闻日报》在诉状中指出，随着人工智能技术的迅猛发展，新闻行业可能面临“无法修复的破坏”。诉状将生成式AI形容为“一条咬住自己尾巴的蛇”，认为其可能“摧毁那些提供训练内容的新闻机构本身”。

诉状写道：“ChatGPT和CoPilot等AI产品被标榜为内容生产者，但实际上它们是不折不扣的消费者——大量吞噬人类创作的内容，再向世界输出这些原始内容的复制品和衍生模仿品，借此实现其商业目的。”

事实上，早在2023年，《纽约时报》就已就类似版权问题起诉OpenAI及其投资方微软。随着案件推进，其他媒体也陆续加入维权行列。《西雅图时报》此次起诉尤为引人关注，因为微软和OpenAI此前曾资助该报的多个新闻项目和研究奖金。

微软发言人对科技媒体GeekWire表示，公司对诉讼感到“意外”，但仍愿“坐下来探讨解决此类争议的可行方案”。

又有两家新闻机构起诉OpenAI和微软，指控其涉嫌利用它们的新闻报道来训练人工智能。
《西雅图时报》和《新闻日报》提起的诉讼认为，随着人工智能的出现，新闻业可能“破碎到无法修复”。诉讼将生成式人工智能描述为“一条咬住自己尾巴的蛇”，可能“摧毁”那些为它提供训练内容的“原创机构”。
诉讼称：“ChatGPT和CoPilot这类人工智能产品被吹捧为内容生产者，但实际上它们是贪婪的消费者，吞噬人类创作的内容，然后向世界输出它们为达成商业目标所消费的那些原创内容的复制品和衍生模仿品。”
早在2023年，《纽约时报》就已就版权侵权问题起诉OpenAI及其合作伙伴兼投资者微软；随着案件推进，其他出版物也纷纷跟进。《西雅图时报》的诉讼尤其引人注目，因为微软和OpenAI曾为该机构的部分新闻项目和奖学金提供资助。
微软发言人对GeekWire表示，公司对此诉讼“感到意外”，但“始终乐于坐下来探讨解决此类纠纷的方案”。

Two more news organizations are suing OpenAI and Microsoft over the supposed use of their journalism to train AI.
A lawsuit filed by The Seattle Times and Newsday argued that with the advent of AI, the journalism industry could become “broken beyond repair.” The lawsuit described generative AI as “a snake eating its own tail” that could “destroy the very organizations” that produce the content it’s trained on.
“AI products like ChatGPT and CoPilot are touted as producers of content, but in fact they are rapacious consumers, devouring human-authored content and delivering back to the world copies and derivative imitations of that same original content they consumed to achieve their commercial objectives,” the lawsuit said.
Back in 2023, The New York Times sued OpenAI and its partner/investor Microsoft over alleged copyright infringement; other publications have followed suit as the case continued. The Seattle Times’ lawsuit is particularly notable because Microsoft and OpenAI have funded some of the organization’s journalism projects and fellowships.
A Microsoft spokesperson told GeekWire that the company is “surprised by the lawsuit” but is “always happy to sit down and explore solutions to this type of dispute.”
