The “New York Times” and many other media are requesting federal judges to punish OpenAI. The game surrounding artificial intelligence and copyright continues to escalate, and may profoundly determine the future direction of the struggling news industry. Several newspapers have alleged that the ChatGPT development company is deliberately concealing key evidence. This case is expected to become a landmark copyright infringement lawsuit. The core dispute is whether OpenAI and Microsoft will rely on millions of press releases to build an artificial intelligence technology system. The focus of the case is whether AI chatbots acting as a source of information constitute unfair competition — they directly divert website traffic, yet they do not invest in editors to complete news production tasks such as news gathering. The plaintiff submitted legal documents to the Manhattan Federal Court on Thursday local time, accusing OpenAI of refusing to submit training data sets and ChatGPT operation logs that can prove how the AI system uses copyrighted news content, which deliberately obstructs judicial evidence collection. The plaintiff requested the judge to punish OpenAI's “disclosure of evidence violation”, believing that the act would tamper with the chain of evidence; an OpenAI employee recently accepted evidence collection outside of court, which contradicted the company's previous statement.
