A federal judge in New York has dismissed a lawsuit filed by news sites Raw Story and AlterNet against OpenAI, ruling that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate sufficient harm from the use of their articles as training data for AI.
The judge agreed with OpenAI's fair use argument, stating that ChatGPT synthesizes AI responses based on the training content, and the likelihood of an exact copy of an article is low. If it does occur, it is considered an error rather than a feature, and facts are not protected by copyright.
This decision may influence other ongoing lawsuits against AI companies, such as the legal dispute between the New York Times and OpenAI, as well as lawsuits filed by music companies against AI music generators.
