OpenAI Accuses New York Times Of Hacking AI Models In Copyright Lawsuit<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

OpenAI has asked a federal judge to dismiss parts of The New York Times\u2019 copyright lawsuit against it, arguing that the newspaper \u201cpaid someone to hack ChatGPT\u201d and other artificial intelligence (AI) systems to generate misleading evidence for the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In a Manhattan federal court filing on Monday, OpenAI\u00a0stated<\/a>\u00a0that The NYT caused the technology to reproduce its material through \u201cdeceptive prompts that violate OpenAI\u2019s terms of use.\u201d OpenAI didn\u2019t identify the individual it claims The NYT employed to manipulate its systems, avoiding accusations of the newspaper violating anti-hacking laws.<\/p>\n

The \u201chacking\u201d <\/strong>OpenAI mentions in the filing could also be called prompt engineering or “red-teaming”…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the filing, OpenAI said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe allegations in the Times\u2019s complaint do not meet its famously rigorous journalistic standards. The truth, which will come out in this case, is that the Times paid someone to hack OpenAI\u2019s products.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

OpenAI\u2019s claim of \u201chacking\u201d is,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to the newspaper\u2019s attorney Ian Crosby, merely an effort to use OpenAI\u2019s products to find evidence of the alleged theft and reproduction of The NYT\u2019s copyrighted work.<\/p>\n

In December 2023, The NYT\u00a0filed a lawsuit against OpenAI<\/a>\u00a0and its leading financial supporter, Microsoft. The lawsuit alleges the unauthorized use of millions of NYT articles to train chatbots that provide information to users.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit pulled from both the United States Constitution and the Copyright Act to defend the original journalism of The NYT. It also pointed to Microsoft\u2019s Bing AI, alleging that it creates verbatim excerpts from its content.<\/p>\n

The New York Times is among many copyright holders suing tech firms for supposedly misusing their content in AI training.\u00a0Other groups, like authors<\/a>, visual artists and music publishers, have also filed similar lawsuits.<\/p>\n

OpenAI has previously asserted that training advanced AI models\u00a0without utilizing copyrighted works is \u201cimpossible.<\/a>\u201d In a filing to the United Kingdom House of Lords, OpenAI stated that, as copyright covers a wide range of human expressions, training leading AI models would be infeasible without incorporating copyrighted materials.<\/p>\n

Tech firms argue that their\u00a0AI systems use copyrighted material fairly<\/a>,\u00a0emphasizing that these lawsuits threaten the potential multitrillion-dollar industry\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

Courts have yet to determine if AI training is considered fair use under copyright law. However, some infringement\u00a0claims related to generative AI system outputs were dismissed<\/a>\u00a0because there was insufficient evidence to show the AI-created content resembled copyrighted works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
