OpenAI is requesting source materials from the New York Times to assess the originality of its copyrighted articles amid a multi-million dollar copyright infringement claim. The Times objects to OpenAI's broad approach, fearing a chilling effect. Various rightsholders, including the Times, are suing AI developers for allegedly using their work without proper compensation. OpenAI seeks to consolidate its case with others but faces resistance. The dispute has led to a motion to compel the Times to cooperate in providing evidence to counter copyright claims. The Times refuses, arguing that copyrightability is determined by the work itself, not underlying notes. They claim OpenAI's requests are overbroad and could hinder journalistic freedom. OpenAI's pursuit of source information aims to distinguish original content from non-original parts in the articles. The Times suggests OpenAI's request may aim to create a chilling effect on journalism. The legal battle highlights the tension between AI development and copyright protection in the digital age.
