The suit filed by a coalition of news publishers from the U.S., the U.K. and Canada say Cohere’s AI products regurgitate near-verbatim stories in real time and invent false stories that are wrongly attributed to the newsrooms.

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.
