#Copyright#AI#OpenAI#Legal#Litigation
The New York Times and The Daily News allege OpenAI concealed evidence in a copyright trial by allegedly hiding internal searches of ChatGPT chat logs and training data. The plaintiffs claim OpenAI manipulated discovery processes to obscure potential copyright infringement, while OpenAI denies the accusations and accuses the Times of misrepresenting user privacy concerns.
News publishers say OpenAI hid tools and datasets that could identify copyrighted journalism in ChatGPT outputs, escalating their lawsuit with a new motion for sanctions.
