The news: OpenAI defeated a copyright lawsuit filed by news outlets Raw Story and AlterNet.
- New York federal judge Colleen McMahon dismissed the lawsuit, stating that OpenAI didn’t violate copyright laws by using scraped content to train its ChatGPT AI models and that the publishers couldn’t prove they’d suffered any injuries from OpenAI’s actions.
- The decision stated that the sheer size of ChatGPT’s repository, and its rapidly evolving abilities, makes it unlikely that it would plagiarize any single source’s content.
