OpenAI, the artificial intelligence organization founded by Sam Altman, has lost important legal data in a lawsuit with The New York Times and other newspapers.
Lawyers for the newspapers were searching OpenAI's training data as part of the discovery process when the company accidentally deleted all the work.
The lawsuit accuses OpenAI of using news articles for training and violating copyrights.
The news organizations' lawyers are requesting OpenAI to repeat the searches to avoid redoing the work.
