New York Times Alleges Microsoft Built Supercomputer to Aid OpenAI’s Copyright Infringement

The New York Times has moved to amend its copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, now claiming that Microsoft actively encouraged infringement by building a high-powered supercomputer for OpenAI. The amendment follows a Supreme Court ruling that sets a stricter standard for contributory infringement, requiring proof that a party intentionally induced illegal conduct. A Times spokesperson stated that the new complaint strengthens the case based on evidence uncovered during discovery and recent legal developments.
