OpenAI's Accidental Data Deletion Raises Legal Concerns in NYT Lawsuit

OpenAI is facing a legal challenge from The New York Times and other news organizations over alleged copyright violations in its training data. In a recent setback, OpenAI accidentally deleted crucial data compiled by the plaintiffs' lawyers during the discovery process. Although some data was recovered, the loss of file structure rendered it largely unusable. The plaintiffs are requesting that OpenAI repeat the searches to avoid incurring additional costs. OpenAI has not commented on the incident.
