According to Decrypt, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has criticized the New York Times for its lawsuit against the AI developer, accusing them of copyright infringement. The lawsuit, filed in December, claims that OpenAI and Microsoft used New York Times articles to train AI models without proper licensing. Altman expressed his views during an interview with New York Times journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin at the DealBook Summit in New York City.
Altman refrained from discussing specifics but suggested that the New York Times is on the wrong side of history regarding AI's role in the media industry. He emphasized the need for a fair system to compensate creators for the use of their work, proposing an opt-in model where creators could earn micropayments when their content is used to generate AI responses.
The New York Times alleges that OpenAI prioritized their content when developing large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, which are trained on extensive datasets to understand language patterns. OpenAI, however, disputes these claims, arguing that the Times manipulated prompts to make ChatGPT produce specific responses. The AI company contends that their models do not typically behave as the Times suggests, implying that the newspaper either instructed the model to regurgitate content or selectively chose examples.
The lawsuit is part of a broader wave of legal actions against OpenAI, with other plaintiffs including authors George R.R. Martin, John Grisham, and comedian Sarah Silverman. Recently, a federal judge granted a motion by the Authors Guild to compel OpenAI to produce communications from employees who used social media for work purposes.
Altman advocates for new economic models to support creators, suggesting that discussions on fair use need to evolve. He believes that creators should have opportunities for new revenue streams, aligning with a right-to-learn approach that balances innovation with fair compensation.#SamAltman #NewYorkTimes #AILawsuit #CopyrightInfringement #OpenAI #MediaIndustry #CreatorsRights #Micropayments #LargeLanguageModels #FairUse #Innovation #EconomicModels #RightToLearn
🚀 OpenAI's Sora AI Model Faces Potential Copyright Issues

According to PANews, OpenAI's new video generation AI model, Sora, has come under scrutiny for allegedly using content from popular video games such as 'Super Mario' and 'Call of Duty,' as well as images of Twitch streamers, for its training. Legal experts have raised concerns that this could lead to multiple copyright disputes.
Experts highlight that video game footage typically involves several layers of copyright, including those held by game developers, unique content created by players, and user-generated maps. Utilizing such content without authorization to train AI models could be considered infringement. Even if AI companies claim fair use, users who publish or use the generated content that is protected by copyright may still face legal risks. Furthermore, if the output involves trademarks or likeness rights, it could pose additional legal challenges.#OpenAI #Sora #AImodel #copyright #videogames #SuperMario #CallofDuty #Twitch #legalissues #fairuse #trademark #likenessrights

According to BlockBeats, Google and OpenAI have urged the U.S. government, led by President Donald Trump, to ease restrictions on AI training, particularly concerning the use of copyrighted materials. The tech giants submitted policy proposals on Thursday, advocating for a more flexible approach to artificial intelligence regulations as the U.S. government plans to develop its 'AI Action Plan' by mid-2025.
The proposals from Google and OpenAI respond to President Trump's recent focus on AI regulation, following his revocation of the previous administration's AI executive order in January 2025. Both companies argue that relaxing intellectual property barriers is crucial for fostering innovation and maintaining the United States' leadership in AI development.
Google emphasized that 'fair use and text and data mining exceptions' are vital for ongoing AI research, warning that stringent copyright policies could hinder advancements in areas such as healthcare, scientific discovery, and economic development.#Google #OpenAI #AIRegulations #Copyright #Innovation #Leadership #AIDevelopment #FairUse #DataMining #Healthcare #ScientificDiscovery #EconomicDevelopment
