Recently, OpenAI has been involved in several lawsuits alleging copyright infringement. News organizations and publishers claim that ChatGPT used their material without permission and didn’t provide any payment.
The lawsuit filed by The New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft is perhaps the most well-known case of its kind so far. The news organization alleges that ChatGPT incorporated its articles and information without permission or payment.
OpenAI is currently facing a lawsuit and argues that using publicly available online content to teach its AI models is considered ‘fair use’ under copyright law. So far, OpenAI has been successful in court with this defense. Just this year, a federal judge in New York dismissed a copyright claim brought against them by news organizations like Raw Story and AlterNet.
The judge stated that the plaintiffs failed to prove where the AI company got its information, and that this information may have been used to train ChatGPT without proper payment.
In its legal dispute with the New York Times, OpenAI was recently ordered to hand over 20 million chat logs from ChatGPT users. The case is being heard before Judge Ona Wang in Manhattan, according to Reuters.
To be direct, the plaintiffs aren’t actually upset about being left out of CMI; their real concern is that their articles were used to create ChatGPT without being paid for them. It’s still unclear if the law provides a way to address this kind of harm, but the court doesn’t need to decide that today.
New York Federal Judge, Colleen McMahon
OpenAI had initially opposed providing the logs, stating it would compromise user privacy. However, the judge ruled they were necessary to verify the claims made by the news organizations. The judge also clarified that releasing the logs wouldn’t actually violate user privacy, noting that multiple safeguards were already in place due to the sensitive nature of the information involved.
OpenAI is challenging a court order that requires them to submit 20 million chat logs to Judge Sidney Stein, the judge overseeing the case.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has previously stated that copyright law doesn’t necessarily prevent using copyrighted material to train AI. However, he also acknowledged that creating AI tools like ChatGPT would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, without access to copyrighted works.
Frank Pine, an executive editor at MediaNews Group, strongly criticized OpenAI, accusing its leaders of being delusional if they believed they could secretly avoid revealing how their business depends on using the work of journalists without compensation.
As a big AI follower, I’m really curious to see what happens with this lawsuit. It’s especially interesting because I’ve been reading that some of the leading AI companies might struggle to improve their models. Apparently, they’re worried about not having enough good data to train them on, and all this is happening while they’re thinking about adding ads to ChatGPT. It feels like a lot is up in the air right now!
