Sept 17 (Reuters) - OpenAI and Microsoft executives privately described their AI products as substitutes for journalism, according to court filings made public on Thursday that the New York Times and other news outlets say gut the tech companies' fair-use defense in a closely watched copyright case.
OpenAI and its largest financial backer, Microsoft, have argued in the Manhattan federal court case that their AI training on millions of newspaper articles is protected as fair use because it transforms copyrighted material into new content and does not compete with or replace the news organizations' journalism.

9 月 17 日（路透社）——据周四公开的法庭文件显示，OpenAI 和微软的高管私下里将他们的 AI 产品描述为新闻报道的替代品。《纽约时报》和其他新闻媒体表示，这些文件削弱了这两家科技公司在备受关注的版权案件中的合理使用抗辩理由。
OpenAI 及其最大的财务支持者微软在曼哈顿联邦法院的案件中辩称，他们对数百万篇报纸文章进行人工智能训练的行为受到合理使用保护，因为它将受版权保护的材料转化为新内容，并且不会与新闻机构的新闻报道竞争或取代新闻报道。
