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.

Several major publishers are suing the Canadian artificial intelligence startup Cohere Inc ., alleging that the company engaged in “systematic copyright and trademark infringement,” the latest in a long line of copyright lawsuits publishers have launched against AI firms.

Major publishers, including Politico and Vox, and their parent companies are suing the AI startup Cohere for copyright and trademark infringement, according to the Wall Street Journal. This is another salvo in the ongoing war between the people that make stuff and the AI algorithms that mimic the stuff that people make.
