NYT Sues OpenAI’s Greg Brockman for Full Deposition in AI Copyright Dispute

The New York Times is taking legal action to compel OpenAI president Greg Brockman to participate in a full standard deposition in ongoing copyright lawsuits. The issues concern the material utilized to train large language models.

The demand comes amid heightened scrutiny over the use of copyrighted material in training artificial intelligence models. For further details, see the original discussion on Law360.
