Wikimedia Foundation warns that the NYT lawsuit against OpenAI could affect the open web
The Wikimedia Foundation has weighed in on The New York Times’ lawsuit against OpenAI, according to Engadget. The foundation said that an extreme decision in either direction could put the open web at risk.
The case has become relevant beyond the parties involved because its outcome could shape how online publishers and generative AI companies handle the use of published material. The Wikimedia Foundation’s intervention reflects concerns that the wider web ecosystem may be affected by how courts resolve disputes over AI and content.
