OpenAI Accused of Concealing Evidence in Copyright Dispute with News Organizations

News organizations suing OpenAI, led by The New York Times, have filed a sanctions motion accusing the company of repeatedly lying to conceal evidence that users prompted ChatGPT to reproduce paywalled articles. The evidence, involving billions of logs, is considered critical to determining whether OpenAI infringed copyright or qualifies for fair use. The motion alleges OpenAI faked an inability to search its training data to hide potential infringement.
