USA Today Sues OpenAI for $250m: What 122 Million Training Tokens Are Worth

USA Today Co. and its affiliated publishers filed a copyright suit against OpenAI on 8 October in the Southern District of New York. The complaint covers 19 newsroom titles and asks for more than $250 million. It says ChatGPT's maker copied hundreds of thousands of articles; OpenAI says training on public web text is fair use. Both claims can sit in the same courtroom, and the interesting part is the arithmetic between them.

The filing, the parties and the demand

The case is docketed as USA Today Co., Inc. v. OpenAI Foundation, No.

ChatGPT output will carry a hidden watermark under EU labelling rules

OpenAI says it is planning an invisible text-provenance mark for ChatGPT output to support compliance with the EU's transparency rules. Article 50 does not require every AI-generated text, image, audio or video published in Europe to carry a label: duties differ between providers and deployers, and the guidance does not require watermarking for outputs shorter than 200 tokens (about 150 English words) or for code snippets.

What Article 50 asks for

Article 50 of the EU AI Act deals with transparency and labelling.

Atlassian Wants AI Agents in Jira With an ID and a Permission Scope

Atlassian used its Team '26 Europe conference in Amsterdam to introduce AMP, the Agentic Multiplayer Protocol. It gives AI agents their own identity, a scoped permission set, shared context and a governance layer inside Jira, Confluence and Loom – so an agent's work appears on the board instead of vanishing into a chat window.

That is the pitch. The more interesting parts sit underneath it: a rebuilt Model Context Protocol server, live presence indicators for agents, and a token-efficiency figure Atlassian puts at up to 25% for Jira and Confluence tasks.

The Gene and Protein Databases Behind Medical AI Get €65 Million From the EU

UniProt is where a researcher looks up what a protein does. GENCODE is where they check which stretches of the human genome are actually genes. Both are free, both are read by labs worldwide, and both have spent years living from one short grant to the next. On 6 October the European Commission said it will spend €65 million from Horizon Europe on services like these, so the work behind them can be planned further ahead.

Where the €65 million goes

The package was confirmed after an amendment to the Horizon Europe work programme.
