US EditionOpenAI Fights Court Order Requiring It to Store Deleted ChatGPT Conversations Indefinitely
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUN 6 – A New York federal judge ruled OpenAI must keep all ChatGPT data indefinitely amid copyright lawsuits, affecting millions of users except Enterprise and Edu customers, the company said.
- A U.S. court ordered OpenAI in May 2023 to retain all ChatGPT user data indefinitely, including deleted conversations, in a copyright lawsuit by The New York Times.
- The order arose from The New York Times’ allegation that OpenAI unlawfully used its articles to train AI models and required data preservation for potential copyright evidence.
- OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap and CEO Sam Altman criticized the order for violating user privacy and industry norms, stating it weakens protections and creates a bad precedent.
- The company confirmed it must now archive nearly all user interactions, affects most ChatGPT users, and restricts data access to a legal team under strict audit protocols.
- OpenAI has filed an appeal requesting reconsideration, emphasizing privacy commitments, ongoing compliance efforts, and challenging the order as excessive and harmful to user trust.
