OpenAI Resists NYT’s Demand for ChatGPT Logs in Copyright Dispute
OpenAI faces a court order to disclose 20 million ChatGPT conversations amid its legal battle with The New York Times over alleged copyright infringement. The AI firm contends the demand risks user privacy and advocates for a limited data sample instead.
The lawsuit, filed in late 2023, accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of training AI models on NYT's copyrighted articles without authorization. OpenAI maintains its fair use defense, arguing the case misrepresents AI training mechanics. The outcome could set precedent for generative AI's intersection with copyright law.
