NYT widens AI suit to target Microsoft
The New York Times amended its copyright suit on June 25 to accuse Microsoft of building a bespoke supercomputer to enable OpenAI's alleged infringement.
The amended filing sharpens the Times’ strategy after a Supreme Court ruling raised the bar for contributory infringement, reframing Microsoft’s custom compute as an intentional act rather than rented cloud.
