Newspapers seek court sanctions against OpenAI over alleged lies in copyright dispute

A group of newspapers led by the New York Times and New York Daily News has asked a federal court in Manhattan to sanction OpenAI in their copyright dispute, alleging the company lied to the court about its ability to search its systems for evidence that it used millions of copyrighted articles to train its AI models. The newspapers claim OpenAI falsely stated it could not search its large language models for their copyrighted material, while allegedly hiding that it had already done so before the lawsuit was filed.
