Court: OpenAI in showdown with New York Times over articles
OpenAI wants court to compel the New York Times (NYT) to disclose the detailed source materials for its articles.
OpenAI seeks the New York Court’s order to include reporters’ notes, interview records, and other relevant documents.
It insisted the information is necessary to verify the originality and authorship of the articles that are claimed to have been used without permission to train its AI models.
The suit is said to be necessary for transparency in understanding the NYT’s journalistic processes, as OpenAI argued that to fairly assess the NYT’s claims of substantial investment in high-quality journalism, it is essential to scrutinize the creation process of the disputed articles.
OpenAI believes that this detailed insight is crucial for determining whether the articles are original works or not.
The NYT has accused OpenAI of using its copyrighted content without authorization, leading to this legal standoff.
OpenAI’s request aims to challenge the NYT’s claims by examining the depth and authenticity of its reporting process.
By seeking access to source materials, OpenAI hopes to strengthen its defence and ensure a fair resolution of the lawsuit.
