An ongoing lawsuit by the New York Times (NYT) against OpenAI took a strange twist on July 1 when the artificial intelligence (AI) firm filed documents asking the court to order the venerable publisher to prove the originality of its articles by providing detailed source materials for each copyrighted work.&nbsp;
According to the NYT, OpenAI used its articles to train artificial intelligence (AI) models without asking for permission or offering compensation. OpenAI has maintained that its use of materials that it “scraped” from the internet is fair.

The “copyrighted works” referred to in the document appear to be pretty much every article the NYT has published that could have ended up on the internet.

Specifically, OpenAI is also asking that the judge order the NYT to provide full details documenting the authorship process of each article.
Per OpenAI’s lawyers:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “The Times alleges, for example, that ‘[t]o produce world-class journalism,’ it ‘invests an enormous amount of time, . . . expertise, and talent,’ including through ‘deep investigations—which usually take months and sometimes years to report and produce—into complex and important areas of public interest.’ Having chosen to put directly at issue how the Times created the works at issue—including the methods, time, labor, and investment—OpenAI has a right to discovery into the same.”
</blockquote>
<h2 id="nyt-s-response">NYT’s response</h2>
The New York Times’ legal team <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.612697/gov.uscourts.nysd.612697.156.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">filed</a> a response to OpenAI’s request just two days later on July 3. Unsurprisingly, the NYT opposes the request and has asked that the judge dismiss it. 
According to The New York Times’ lawyers: 
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “OpenAI’s claim that it needs all ‘reporter’s notes, interview memos, records of materials&nbsp;cited, or other ‘files’ for each asserted work’—purportedly to determine whether The Times’s&nbsp;works are in fact protectable intellectual property—is unprecedented and turns copyright law on its head.”
</blockquote>
The NYT’s motion to dismiss essentially says that how copyrighted material is created isn’t relevant to how that copyrighted materials were used in this case. 
As of July 4, and this article’s time of publication, no further documents have been made available to the public. It remains to be seen how the judge in this case will respond to the opposing motions.
