Former OpenAI employee Suchir Balaji said his former employer’s business model violates US copyright law and “destroys the commercial viability of Internet companies and services.” The New York Times (NYT) writes about this.

Balaži left the company in the summer of 2024, after working there for more than four years. He also worked on the GPT-4 project. Balaji initially believed that artificial intelligence (AI) technology could be used to solve “unsolvable problems” such as curing diseases and slowing aging, but he later realized that AI technology was being used for purposes that he “wasn’t interested in.” OK”.
He argues that AI companies like OpenAI are “destroying the commercial viability” of the individuals, companies and internet services that created the digital data used to train AI. Furthermore, according to him, the results of the AI generation do not comply with the principle of “fair use.”
OpenAI commented on the former employee’s statement and noted that the models are created using publicly available data.
In December 2023, The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that the companies used “millions” of articles published by The Times to train chatbots. Both companies denied it.
In late September, OpenAI agreed for the first time to reveal the data ChatGPT was trained on. This happened after the court’s decision in a class action lawsuit by American writers. Only lawyers who are in a special room without Internet will be able to see this data.
