OpenAI Loses Fight to Keep ChatGPT Logs Secret in Copyright Case
Judge Ona Wang ruled OpenAI must provide 20 million anonymized ChatGPT logs to news outlets for copyright analysis in an ongoing 2023 lawsuit.
- On Wednesday, Manhattan Magistrate Judge Ona Wang ordered OpenAI to produce 20 million deidentified ChatGPT output logs to the Daily News and other news outlets, calling the sample proportional to the case.
- Plaintiffs including the Authors Guild argue the consolidated 2023 class-action alleges OpenAI used and distorted copyrighted work, with news organisations seeking ChatGPT logs to test model outputs.
- The 20 million sample represents less than 0.05% of OpenAI's retained output logs, with Wang stating anonymization and multiple privacy protections are nearly complete.
- OpenAI has appealed Wang's order to U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein; the court said `either bode well for OpenAI` regarding delay motives and set 7 days for production after deidentification.
- Plaintiffs assert that OpenAI withheld critically important evidence and vow accountability, while OpenAI spokespeople told Reuters the request `disregards long-standing privacy protections` and `breaks with common-sense security practices`.
