Media Giants Accuse OpenAI of Misleading the Court

The New York Times and several leading American media outlets have accused OpenAI of destroying evidence and submitting false information to the court in a copyright lawsuit pending in federal court in New York. The media group has requested that sanctions be imposed against OpenAI. According to the publications, OpenAI misrepresented to the court that it was technically impossible to locate materials that were used without permission to create ChatGPT.

According to the complaint, OpenAI failed to disclose to the court that the disputed materials had actually been located before the lawsuit was filed.

The publications also claim that OpenAI deleted or made inaccessible to search systems billions of ChatGPT conversation histories that could have been used as evidence in the case. Their position is supported by testimony from one of OpenAI's employees.

OpenAI denies the allegations and states that it protects user privacy. According to company representatives, the New York Times lawsuit lacks a solid foundation, and the media is attempting to interfere in the personal lives of individuals who have no connection to this case based on unfounded accusations.

Similar disputes are increasingly emerging between technology companies and authors or media outlets. The main source of disagreement is that materials from these parties may have been used without permission to create artificial intelligence models.
