News outlets urge a judge to sanction OpenAI in a high-stakes AI copyright fight
The publishers say OpenAI hid search tools and deleted billions of logs, and they want sanctions, fees and limits on evidence use.
- Media outlets including The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, and The New York Daily News filed a motion Thursday in Manhattan Federal Court seeking 'serious sanctions' against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging 'discovery misconduct' and evidence destruction.
- OpenAI expert John Vincent 'Vinnie' Monaco 'finally revealed' in an April deposition that the company engaged in a 'campaign of deception' regarding its ability to search training datasets for copyrighted content.
- Attorney Steven Lieberman said OpenAI has been 'making misrepresentations' for two years about its search capabilities, while investigators pieced together over 80 million responses from ChatGPT users to uncover evidence.
- Plaintiffs requested attorney fees for securing 'improperly withheld' evidence and special jury instructions ensuring jurors understand OpenAI intentionally destroyed data in violation of court preservation orders.
- This trial contrasts with Anthropic's $1.5 billion settlement with book authors, testing whether training AI on copyrighted works constitutes 'fair use' under copyright law in a landmark case shaping the news industry.
