New York Times and publishers sue Brave over AI scraping

Original: TL;DR: The New York Times and several other publications are suing the Brave web browser for allegedly scraping content

The New York Times and several other publications have filed a lawsuit against Brave Software, alleging the company's web browser scraped their content without permission to train artificial intelligence systems and enabled users to bypass paywalls. The case adds to a growing wave of litigation by media companies over the unauthorised use of their journalism in AI development.

Why now: Publishers are increasingly taking legal action against tech companies over AI training data and paywall circumvention, making this new suit against Brave a notable escalation.
