The federal court in New York dismissed a copyright infringement lawsuit against OpenAI related to the use of news articles to train ChatGPT. Judge Colleen McMahon noted that the plaintiffs, Raw Story and AlterNet, did not provide sufficient evidence of damage but allowed the claim to be refiled with new evidence.
The plaintiffs' attorneys are confident they can address the deficiencies in an amended lawsuit. Previously, they claimed that thousands of articles were illegally used to train the chatbot. Additionally, in December 2023, The New York Times filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for using "millions" of its articles.
