Fourteen publishers have sued Canadia artificial intelligence firm Cohere for widespread unauthorized use of their content in developing and running its generative AI systems, alleging massive, systematic copyright and trademark infringement.

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 lawsuit accuses the Canadian company of sharing versions of entire articles without permission.

More than a dozen major U.S. news organizations on Thursday said they were suing Cohere, an enterprise AI company, claiming the tech startup illegally repurposed their work and did so in a way that tarnished their brands.
