As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye for technology trends, I find myself intrigued by the latest development surrounding OpenAI and its chatbot, ChatGPT. Having closely followed the AI landscape for years, I’ve seen numerous lawsuits involving copyright issues and data misuse. However, this case seems to be taking an interesting turn.
Avoiding a copyright lawsuit, the AI firm responsible for ChatGPT, OpenAI, asserted that they did not improperly utilize news articles during the development of their Large Language Model (LLM).
According to a Reuters report, a federal judge in New York discarded a lawsuit filed by news outlets Raw Story and AlterNet on November 7th.
OpenAI in the clear — for now
U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon determined that the outlets didn’t provide sufficient proof of damage to substantiate their allegations, yet left open the option for them to re-file with more evidence in the future.
McMahon pointed out that the main issue isn’t about barring the use of copyrighted materials, but rather it’s about the fact that the defendants are utilizing Plaintiffs’ articles for the creation of ChatGPT without providing any payment or compensation.
As the case stands, McMahon said the type of harm claimed did not justify the lawsuit.
Nevertheless, it seems that OpenAI might still face some challenges. The legal teams representing the news outlets expressed confidence that they can effectively address the court’s issues by making adjustments to their original complaint.
In February, some news agencies lodged a legal complaint alleging that OpenAI had improperly utilized thousands of their articles during the training process for its AI-driven chatbot. This chatbot often produces copyrighted content in response to appropriate prompts.
In December 2023, The New York Times took legal action against OpenAI, claiming that they had used thousands of NYT articles without permission for their chatbot’s training. Similarly, Time Magazine and The Associated Press have filed lawsuits alleging that OpenAI has been using copyrighted material without proper authorization.
AI and the news
Since then, I’ve noticed that the company has been actively forging strategic partnerships with news outlets to legally procure rights to content. This enables them to deliver accurate, real-time news responses to user inquiries.
This entity collaborates with prominent international news agencies such as the Financial Times, Le Monde (French), Prisa Media (Spanish), and Axel Springer (German).
Consequently, starting from November 1st, the company unveiled its newest functionality, called ChatGPT Search. This feature enables users to query information and obtain responses derived from online sources based on their inquiries.
Besides OpenAI, other AI companies are also pursuing collaborations with news organizations. For instance, on October 25, Meta (the owner of Facebook and Instagram) made its initial news partnership official with Reuters.
The collaboration enables our AI chatbot to directly connect with Reuters news articles as part of its response to relevant questions.
