OpenAI is currently facing a lawsuit from the NYT, filed in December, accusing OpenAI of unauthorized use of millions of Times articles to train chatbots. OpenAI responded by stating that generating results similar to the newspaper's articles took tens of thousands of attempts and was not within the ordinary course of operation. They expressed confidence that the fair-use question would be resolved in favor of AI companies. This is not the only lawsuit OpenAI faces over copyright infringement, as several authors and artists have also filed suits claiming AI tools like ChatGPT used their work without permission.
