Perfil Sues OpenAI and Microsoft for Unauthorized Use of Its Journalism
Editorial Perfil S.A. filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, Microsoft Corporation, and Microsoft de Argentina S.R.L. in federal civil and commercial court. It accuses them of using its journalistic content without permission—including material behind paywalls—to train and commercialize AI models, and of engaging in unfair competition. Perfil is the first Spanish-language media outlet to take legal action against these companies over alleged intellectual property appropriation.
