NYT shifts OpenAI/Microsoft copyright claims after SCOTUS ruling against Sony.
The SCOTUS ruling against Sony on copyright has emboldened legacy content creators like the NYT to escalate their legal strategies against AI developers and their infrastructural partners.
This event indicates a significant escalation in the legal battle over AI training data, potentially reshaping liability and ownership within the AI supply chain from content to core infrastructure.
The focus of copyright infringement claims extends beyond AI model developers to include cloud providers and compute infrastructure builders, introducing new legal frontiers and risks.

Microsoft faces increased legal and financial risks associated with its investment in and partnership with OpenAI.
AI developers may shift towards more robust licensing agreements or develop models on purely synthetic or publicly available data to mitigate copyright risks.
This could lead to a two-tier AI ecosystem: one with expensive, legally-clear data and another with cheaper, potentially riskier data.
