United StatesThe New York Times and The Daily News allege that OpenAI concealed evidence during a copyright trial involving ChatGPT. The lawsuit centers on whether OpenAI violated copyright laws by training its AI models on the Times' content and reproducing it in user outputs. Throughout the case, OpenAI claimed it could not search its training data due to technical challenges and privacy concerns. However, recent court documents suggest that OpenAI had already conducted internal searches and built a database of 78 million de-identified ChatGPT conversations to assess potential infringement. Additionally, OpenAI reportedly used a 'Bloom' filter under 'Project Giraffe' to detect instances where ChatGPT repeated copyrighted material. Plaintiffs argue that OpenAI unnecessarily complicated the discovery process by heavily redacting the 20 million chat logs it eventually provided, making them unusable. They also claim OpenAI deleted billions of outputs and replaced some logs, violating court orders. The plaintiffs now seek judicial action against OpenAI for alleged obstruction of the discovery process.
