Top media leaders across print, digital and broadcast warned about AI's impacts on journalism at the inaugural Status Summit last week.
Why it matters: News publishers recognize that they need to embrace AI to survive the transition to an agentic web, but they refuse to broker deals with companies they feel are illegally scraping their content.
What they're saying: Speaking onstage to Status founder Oliver Darcy last Wednesday, New York Times CEO Meredith Kopit Levien said large language model developers "as far as we see it ... have engaged in theft of intellectual property and creative expressive work on a scale that is unprecedented."
As it relates to the Times, they've "stolen our stuff," she said.
The Times, which has sued OpenAI and Microsoft in a landmark copyright lawsuit, has struck partnerships with AI firms, such as Amazon, when they believe terms are equitable.

Star fly-half Finn Russell is fit to start for Scotland against South Africa in the second round of Nations Championship action.
The 33-year-old replaces Tom Jordan at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday after missing last weekend's 47-38 win in Argentina with a calf problem.
There are two further changes as tighthead prop Zander ****** erson and lock Gregor Brown are promoted to the starting XV after coming off the bench in Cordoba, taking over from the injured Elliot Millar Mills and Jonny Gray.
Will Hurd, Josh Bayliss, Magnus Bradbury and Stafford McDowall are added to the bench, with winger Darcy Graham among those dropping out for what is Scotland's first visit to South Africa since 2014.
The replacements also include hooker Gregor Hiddleston, who made a try-scoring debut against Argentina, and prop Rory Sutherland, in line to earn his 50th cap.
