A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI filed by Raw Story and AlterNet, accusing the artificial intelligence company of using copyrighted works without proper attribution.
OpenAI, their joint February lawsuit claimed, illegally trained large language models by removing the copyright management information from Raw Story and AlterNet articles before entering the content into ChatGPT’s system. ChatGPT would then share answers based on their content without citing their work, the lawsuit claimed.
However, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon dismissed the lawsuit on Thursday, saying the two outlets failed to show “any actual adverse effects” from OpenAI doing so.
