OpenAI announced on June 6, 2025, that it is appealing The New York Times' lawsuit demand to retain consumer ChatGPT and API customer data indefinitely. This development is part of the ongoing legal battle between the publisher and the AI developer over copyright infringement and the use of journalistic content.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, publicly criticized The New York Times' request, characterizing it as 'crazy overreach' and emphasizing the importance of user privacy. This highlights the differing perspectives on data handling and intellectual property in the context of generative AI.
The appeal indicates that the dispute over content usage and data retention will continue to be a contentious issue. The outcome of this legal challenge could have significant implications for how AI companies interact with copyrighted material and manage user data, impacting the broader media and technology industries.
