OpenAI Stresses Dependence on Copyrighted Material for AI Tools Development

OpenAI, the innovative force behind ChatGPT, has underscored the indispensable role of copyrighted material in creating AI tools like its groundbreaking chatbot.

Amid increasing scrutiny on AI firms for the content used in their training processes, OpenAI addressed the issue in response to legal challenges.

The company insisted that developing extensive language models, such as the GPT-4, would be unfeasible without leveraging copyrighted content, which spans a broad spectrum of human expression. OpenAI is currently grappling with legal action, including a lawsuit from the New York Times, alleging copyright infringements.

Despite these challenges, OpenAI maintains that copyright law does not prohibit the training of AI models.
