OpenAI Says New York Times Lawsuit Surprising, Without Merit

Jan 09, 2024 - pymnts.com
OpenAI is facing a lawsuit from The New York Times, which alleges copyright infringement and claims that the tech companies used its content without permission to develop their AI products. OpenAI, the creator of AI chatbot ChatGPT, responded in a blog post stating that no single source, including The New York Times, makes a meaningful contribution to the training of its models, and any misuse of publishers' content is not typical or allowed.

OpenAI also mentioned that it is continually making its systems more resistant to adversarial attacks to regurgitate training data. The company collaborates with news organizations to explore new opportunities, and has pursued partnerships to deploy its AI products to support reporters and editors, train its AI models on additional content, and display news publishers’ real-time content with attribution in ChatGPT. An example of such a collaboration is a licensing deal with media company Axel Springer announced on Dec. 13.
