- OpenAI criticizes The New York Times for requesting 20 million ChatGPT user logs for its lawsuit, calling it an invasion of privacy.
- A federal judge ruled that OpenAI must provide the logs, stating existing privacy protections are sufficient.
- OpenAI is seeking reconsideration of the ruling, arguing the demand violates privacy and common-sense security practices.
- The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, alleging unauthorized use of its articles for training data.
- Lawyers for The New York Times must follow strict security measures to review the logs, including using offline computers and no personal devices.
- OpenAI claims the logs are irrelevant to the case and that user privacy is at risk, despite anonymization efforts.
- The New York Times counters that OpenAI's privacy concerns are misleading, as its own terms allow using chats for training and litigation.
- This lawsuit is among the most advanced copyright cases against AI companies, with other news publishers also suing OpenAI and Microsoft.
