OpenAI In an interview with the New York Times, former researcher Suchir Balaji said that OpenAI is breaking the law.copyright lawThe company launched the ChatGPT It's destroying.internet.
Balaji worked as an AI researcher at OpenAI for nearly four years, helping to collect and organize the vast amounts of Internet data the company used to develop its chatbot, ChatGPT. At the time, he did not carefully consider whether OpenAI had the legal right to develop its products in this way, assuming that the company was free to use any Internet data, whether or not it was copyrighted.
But after ChatGPT was released in late 2022, he began to think more deeply about what OpenAI was doing. He came to the conclusion that OpenAI's use of copyrighted data violated the law, and that technologies like ChatGPT were destroying the Internet. In August, he left OpenAI because he no longer wanted to contribute to the technology.He believes that this technology will do more harm than good to society."If you believe me, you're definitely leaving OpenAI," he said in a recent interview with the New York Times.
OpenAI doesn't agree with Balaji's claims, and in a statement the company said, "We build our AI models using publicly available data in a manner consistent with the principles of fair use and relevance, and supported by long-standing and widely accepted legal precedent.We believe this principle is fair to creators, necessary for innovators, and essential to U.S. competitiveness.”
