The Los Angeles Times, Politico, Vox, Condé Nast, The Guardian and more sued AI firm Cohere for copyright violation in widespread unauthorized use of their content.

The Canadian artificial intelligence firm Cohere is facing litigation from fourteen publishers who accuse it of systematic copyright and trademark infringement stemming from the unauthorized use of their content in the development and running of its generative AI systems.

The suit filed by a coalition of news publishers from the U.S., the U.K. and Canada say Cohere’s AI products regurgitate near-verbatim stories in real time and invent false stories that are wrongly attributed to the newsrooms.
