Suchir Balaji, a former artificial intelligence researcher at OpenAI, told the New York Times that the start-up's use of copyrighted data to create ChatGPT violated the law.
"This is not a sustainable model for the internet ecosystem as a whole," the media quoted him as saying on Wednesday. According to Balaji, ChatGPT, along with other chatbots, is undermining the economic sustainability of people, enterprises, and online services responsible for generating the digital information that trains these AI systems.
OpenAI has repeatedly claimed to have built its AI models using "publicly available data, in a manner protected by fair use and related principles and supported by longstanding and widely accepted legal precedents."
