OpenAI had previously asked a federal judge to dismiss parts of the Times' copyright infringement lawsuit, claiming that the publisher paid an expert to "hack" its AI systems to create misleading evidence. The AI firm also accused the Times of using deceptive prompts to make its technology reproduce copyrighted material, thereby violating OpenAI's terms of service. The New York Times filed its lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft in December, alleging unauthorized use of its content to develop AI products.
