As part of an ongoing copyright case, OpenAI is attempting to appeal a decision that mandates that the AI leader provide the New York Times with 20 million anonymized ChatGPT interactions. 

OpenAI claims that this is a "invasion of user privacy." 

The specifics: 

 Because OAI's de-identification procedure already safeguards users' privacy, a judge decided that the sought conversation logs were appropriate discovery information. 

 In order to search for possible copyright breaches, the NYT first requested 1.4 billion talks before reducing it to a random sample of 20 million from December 2022 to November 2024. 

 In addition to releasing a blog post outlining its position on user privacy and the "baseless lawsuit," OpenAI hopes to get the injunction revoked in a letter to the court. 

 OpenAI called the request a "speculative fishing expedition," arguing that "99.99" of the transcripts have nothing to do with the copyright allegations. 

 Although OAI is still fighting, it appears that the court has reached a decision. 

However, framing the problem as a breach of user privacy is a useful strategy to win over customers. 

 Even if the NYT will eventually have access to these anonymised conversations, "AI confidentiality" seems ready to gain more attention.
