OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has publicly contested the New York Times' copyright claims, asserting that the Times is "on the wrong side of history." The legal conflict arises from allegations by the New York Times that OpenAI utilized their content extensively for AI training without obtaining proper permissions.
In response, OpenAI claims that the New York Times manipulated prompts to make its AI model, ChatGPT, regurgitate their content, which they see as an unfair representation of how their AI operates.
This legal battle is part of a broader series of copyright infringement lawsuits being faced by OpenAI, as multiple authors and creators also allege unauthorized use of their works.
To resolve such conflicts, Altman has proposed a new revenue-sharing system that could potentially benefit both AI developers and content creators, promoting a more collaborative approach to the use of intellectual property with AI technologies.
