《纽约时报》、《每日新闻》等多家媒体机构已联合向联邦法官提出申请，要求对 OpenAI 实施制裁 [1]。这些原告方在涉及 ChatGPT 使用数百万篇新闻报道进行 AI 训练的版权侵权诉讼中，指控被告故意隐瞒和销毁关键证据，存在“发现违规”行为 [1]。
该案件的核心争议在于人工智能聊天机器人是否利用受版权保护的内容构建替代产品，从而对新闻行业造成不公平竞争 [1]。原告方包括《纽约时报》、《每日新闻》及其他媒体机构，而被告方为 OpenAI 及其商业伙伴微软 [1]。针对上述指控，OpenAI 被指选择“阻挠”而非披露数据集和 ChatGPT 日志 [1]。
此次诉讼始于《纽约时报》于 2023 年底起诉 OpenAI 和微软 [1]。截至目前，《纽约时报》已花费超过 2800 万美元用于对抗 AI 公司的法律斗争 [1]。媒体方请求法院以“发现违规”为由对 OpenAI 进行惩罚 [1]。
The New York Times and the Daily News have joined other media organizations to petition a federal judge for sanctions against OpenAI, alleging that the company intentionally concealed and destroyed key evidence during discovery proceedings [1]. The lawsuit centers on whether AI chatbots can utilize copyrighted content to build substitute products without causing unfair competition to the news industry [1]. According to AP News reporting, this legal battle began when The New York Times filed a suit against OpenAI and its commercial partner Microsoft in late 2023 [1].
The media plaintiffs accuse OpenAI of choosing obstruction over disclosure regarding datasets and ChatGPT logs used for training artificial intelligence models [1]. Specifically, the complaint asserts that OpenAI engaged in discovery violations by hiding critical information related to how millions of news articles were utilized in AI training [1]. In response to these allegations, The New York Times has disclosed that it has already spent more than $28 million fighting legal battles against the AI company [1].
