The tech giant and its partner OpenAI were accused of infringing on copyrights to train A.I. technologies like the online chatbot ChatGPT.

The artificial intelligence start-up argued that its online chatbot, ChatGPT, is not a substitute for a New York Times subscription.

The Times was honored for its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. And ProPublica won a prize for revealing the lavish gifts and luxury trips given to Justice Clarence Thomas.

At the end of the year, The Times had 10.36 million subscribers, 9.7 million of them digital-only.

The artificial intelligence start-up said that it collaborated with news organizations and that The Times, which accused it of copyright infringement, was not telling the full story.

The use of content from news and information providers to train artificial intelligence systems may force a reassessment of where to draw legal lines.

Several major publishers have been in talks to license content to the creator of ChatGPT, but agreement on the price and terms has been elusive.

Millions of articles from The New York Times were used to train chatbots that now compete with it, the lawsuit said.

The company reported an adjusted operating profit of $89.8 million in its latest quarter, up from $69 million a year earlier.

The writer, Jazmine Hughes, who has won awards for her work, had signed another letter of protest this year.
