US EditionOpenAI Fights NYT Copyright Order Over ChatGPT Data Preservation
- In May 2025, a New York federal court directed OpenAI to indefinitely retain and separate all ChatGPT logs, including those intended for deletion.
- The order arises from a 2023 copyright lawsuit filed by The New York Times, which alleges that OpenAI and Microsoft used Times content without authorization to develop their AI systems.
- The judge ruled after plaintiffs raised concerns that users might delete chats to hide evidence of copyright violations, while OpenAI argued the order violates user privacy and lacked sufficient proof.
- On May 13, OpenAI filed a motion to appeal the judge's directive to retain ChatGPT data indefinitely, arguing that the ruling undermines the company’s promises to safeguard user privacy. CEO Sam Altman criticized the decision, saying it threatens users' confidentiality and establishes a harmful precedent.
- This legal battle may impact how AI companies handle user data and raises questions about balancing copyright enforcement with user privacy protections.
