Major news publishers, including The New York Times and The Economist, have united in a new industry coalition aimed at restricting the use of their content by artificial intelligence systems without compensation. The initiative signals a growing pushback against tech companies training AI models on copyrighted material without permission or payment. Publishers argue that unchecked scraping of their articles undermines journalism’s sustainability and fair use principles. The move could intensify legal and ethical debates over AI development and media rights.
