'New York Times' and other US newspapers ask the court to punish OpenAI in copyright dispute
Headquarters of The New York Times Associated Press A group of newspapers, including the "New York Times" and the "New York Daily News", asked a Manhattan federal court this Thursday (9) to impose sanctions on OpenAI,...
They ask that the court impose sanctions, including the payment of legal fees, and judicially recognize that OpenAI's conversation records demonstrate that the company misused copyrighted works. Spokespeople for OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the petition. The lawsuit, initially filed by the New York Times in 2023, accuses OpenAI and its largest backer, Microsoft, of using millions of articles from the newspaper without authorization to train the large language model that underpins ChatGPT. The case is one of several lawsuits filed by copyright holders — including authors, visual artists and record labels — against technology companies, such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, for allegedly improperly using this material to train AI systems. "For more than two years, OpenAI lied to The Times, the Daily News plaintiffs, the public, and the court," New York Times lead attorney Ian Crosby said in a statement. "The company alleged that searching ChatGPT results for copies of content from The Times and the Daily News plaintiffs was unfeasible, burdensome and invasive of users' privacy, while concealing that it had already performed such searches." OpenAI had previously told the court that it did not have tools to search its datasets and results records for copyrighted material. However, according to the petition filed by the newspapers on Thursday, a company employee later testified that OpenAI had "conducted multiple searches for content from the Daily News plaintiffs."
