According to Fox News AI, OpenAI has accused The New York Times of seeking access to sensitive user data as part of its ongoing lawsuit regarding AI copyright and content scraping practices (Fox News, Nov 13, 2025). OpenAI claims that complying with the NY Times’ discovery demands could jeopardize the privacy of millions of users whose interactions with OpenAI’s AI models are stored on its platform. This case highlights the growing tension between content rights holders and AI companies over training data, and raises critical questions for AI developers about balancing transparency, intellectual property, and end-user privacy. The outcome could set important legal precedents for data usage and privacy in generative AI business models, directly impacting future partnerships and compliance strategies for AI companies.
