Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking said Last week tonight Juan Olivero a chilling but memorable hypothetical story from a decade ago about the potential dangers of ai. The gist is that a group of scientists builds a superintelligent computer and asks it, “Does God exist?” The computer responds: “There is now” and lightning cuts the plug, preventing it from turning off. Let's hope that's not what happened with OpenAI and some missing evidence from the New York Times' plagiarism lawsuit.
cabling reported that a judicial declaration presented by the New York Times Wednesday says OpenAI engineers accidentally deleted evidence of ai training data that took a long time to research and compile. OpenAI recovered some of the data, but it is still missing “the original file names and folder structure” that show when the ai copied your items into its models.
OpenAI spokesperson Jason Deutrom disagreed with the NYT states and says the company “will submit our response soon.” He Times has been fighting Microsoft and OpenAI over alleged copyright infringements with their ai models since December last year.
The lawsuit is still in its discovery phase when both sides request and deliver evidence to prepare the case for trial. OpenAI had to hand over its training data to the Times but he has not publicly revealed the exact information he used to create the ai modes.
Instead, OpenAI created a “sandbox” of two virtual machines for the NOWThe legal team could conduct their investigation. He NYT The legal team spent more than 150 hours examining the data on one of the machines before it was deleted. OpenAI acknowledged the removal, but the company's legal team called it a “glitch.” Although OpenAI engineers attempted to fix the error, the restored data was missing the NYT work. This led to the NOW essentially recreate everything from scratch. He NYT Lawyers said they had no reason to believe the deletion was intentional.
