Outlets Seek Sanctions Over OpenAI Discovery Deception

The New York Times and several outlets filed a 52-page motion in U.S. district court seeking sanctions against OpenAI, accusing the company of concealing its ability to search training datasets and output logs and of deleting logs in violation of preservation orders, after a deposition revealed such searches. The plaintiffs urge remedies including attorneys’ fees and other penalties; OpenAI denies wrongdoing. The move comes amid ongoing copyright and AI-use litigation involving OpenAI, Microsoft, and various news organizations.
