Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens soft media users 1520111, Mr. Aviation, Ishihara Rimi Happiness clue delivery! CTOnews.com, August 20 (Xinhua)-- OpenAI may face a lawsuit from the New York Times for using articles and images from the New York Times to train its artificial intelligence (AI) model, in violation of the New York Times's terms of service, according to NPR. If the lawsuit succeeds, OpenAI could suffer huge losses, including deleting its data sets and paying hefty fines.

ChatGPT under OpenAI is a powerful chat robot, which has received extensive attention and use since its release. However, ChatGPT has also caused some copyright issues, such as famous writer Sarah Silverman and others have sued OpenAI to protect the copyright of their books.

Lawyers for the New York Times are considering whether it is necessary to file a lawsuit against OpenAI to protect the intellectual property rights of its news reports, NPR reported. The New York Times is concerned that OpenAI may use its content to create a competitor, an AI system that can answer questions based on original reporting and writing. CTOnews.com noted that to this end, the New York Times updated its terms of service this month to prohibit any use of its content to develop any software program, including, but not limited to, training machine learning or AI systems.

NPR reported that there was a possibility of a licensing agreement between the New York Times and OpenAI, in which OpenAI paid for the use of New York Times content to train its models. However, the talks between the two sides have become "controversial", a license agreement seems increasingly unlikely, and the New York Times seems to be weighing whether it is worth participating in a product that could become its strongest competitor.

If the New York Times does sue OpenAI, OpenAI may defend "fair use", that is, they use all the content on the Internet to train its tools, but experts say it is very challenging.

Last month, the Associated Press became one of the first news organizations to reach a license agreement with OpenAI, but the terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The Associated Press reported today that it has joined other news organizations to develop standards for AI's use in newsrooms, acknowledging that many "news organizations are concerned that their materials are being used by AI without permission or payment." In April this year, the News Media Alliance released the AI principle in an attempt to protect publishers' intellectual property rights by insisting on the right of generative AI that developers and deployers must negotiate with publishers to use their content, whether for AI training, AI tool presentation information, or AI tool synthesis information.
