OpenAI said it views the NYT lawsuit as being “without merit” and listed its media partnerships and opt-out options for publishers, dismissing claims of misuse of information as “not typical or allowed.”
In a blog post on Jan. 8, OpenAI addressed a lawsuit brought against it by The New York Times (NYT), saying it is “without merit” and listed its collaborative efforts with various news organizations.
According to the blog post, OpenAI was in discussions with the NYT that appeared to be “progressing constructively.”
The NYT lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft alleges the unauthorized use of its content for training artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots. OpenAI’s rebuttal disagrees with the NYT claims and says it views this as a moment to “clarify our business, intent and how we build out the technology.”
