NewsletterOpenAI Responds to The New York Times Copyright Lawsuit
OpenAI has issued a public response to the copyright infringement lawsuit filed by The New York Times. The AI research company firmly contests the allegations, emphasizing its commitment to lawful practices and pursuing constructive dialogue with the media giant.
Allegations of Content Reproduction
The lawsuit centers around claims that OpenAI’s ChatGPT tool replicated content from The New York Times without authorization. OpenAI, however, counters these allegations, stating that the purported examples are misrepresentative. The company argues that these instances likely resulted from deliberate instruction to the model for replication or selective examples from numerous trials.
OpenAI’s Stance on Fair Use and AI Development
OpenAI maintains that for AI to evolve and address new challenges, it requires access to a vast array of human knowledge. This stance is rooted in the belief that using internet data for training AI models constitutes fair use. This principle allows for the repurposing of copyrighted materials within certain limits. OpenAI acknowledges the importance of copyright but contends that AI development necessitates the inclusion of such works to capture the full spectrum of human thought and experience.
In its statement, OpenAI revealed measures to mitigate potential copyright issues. The company highlighted its recent action of disabling the Browse feature in ChatGPT, which inadvertently led to content reproduction. Additionally, since August 2023, website owners have had the option to block OpenAI’s web crawlers, preventing their data from being used in the company’s model training.
Prospects of Collaboration with The New York Times
Despite the ongoing legal dispute, OpenAI hoped for a collaborative relationship with The New York Times. Drawing parallels to its partnerships with Axel Springer and The Associated Press, OpenAI aims to forge a similar alliance with the esteemed publication. The company’s statement reflects a respect for The New York Times’ rich heritage and a desire for a mutually beneficial partnership
