Mediapart's Carine Fouteau urges fight-back against AI firms over news content and democracy

Carine Fouteau, president of French investigative outlet Mediapart, argues that AI companies are plundering news outlets without authorisation or compensation and siphoning off their audiences and revenue.

She says journalism faces destruction unless publishers act collectively, including through legal action, and that OpenAI has admitted training leading models without copyrighted material is impossible.
