The New York Times previously sued OpenAI, an American artificial intelligence research organization, for alleged copyright infringement. The lawsuit was filed by the news publishing company last month, and OpenAI finally issued a response to the case.
OpenAI Issues Long Response to NYT’s Claims
The company posted a statement on Monday, Jan. 8, and said that the suit lodged against OpenAI by The New York Times is groundless. It also noted that, in reality, it is campaigning for artificial intelligence’s fair use of data for growth while exploring collations in the future.
“We support journalism, partner with news organizations, and believe The New York Times lawsuit is without merit,” OpenAI stated in a blog post. “While we disagree with the claims in The New York Times lawsuit, we view it as an opportunity to clarify our business, our intent, and how we build our technology.”
The Root of the Lawsuit
As per CNN Business, The New York Times sued the ChatGPT developer in December and included Microsoft, OpenAI’s business partner and investor, in the filing. The daily newspaper filed a complaint against them for copyright infringement.
NYT claimed that OpenAI and Microsoft’s artificial intelligence technologies copied millions of its articles without permission. It said the works were used to train ChatGPT and other AI services to offer users instant access to unlimited information.
Moreover, the paper said the technology now competes with the company’s publishing business. The New York Times also challenged OpenAi’s fair use argument by stating that ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot offer a similar service to the public as it does. While OpenAI finally responded to explain the claims, Microsoft is still silent about the issue.
Future Partnership
Finally, CoinGape reported that despite the legal dispute, the ChatGPT developer is still hoping to build a good relationship with The New York Times and stated it is open to a collaboration in the future. OpenAI aims to ally with recognized publications and wants a mutually beneficial cooperation with the paper.
