Deep dives
OpenAI's Valuation Could Surpass $100 Billion in New Funding Round
OpenAI is reportedly in talks to raise a fresh round of funding at a valuation of over $100 billion, potentially making it the second most valuable US startup after SpaceX. The exact terms, valuation, and timing of this fundraising round are still being finalized. OpenAI's previous tender offer at an $86 billion valuation saw more demand than anticipated, leading to discussions for a higher valuation funding round. Additionally, OpenAI has been exploring a potential $8 to $10 billion fundraising deal with Abu Dhabi-based G42, which may or may not be related to the $100 billion valuation round.
New York Times Sues OpenAI and Microsoft over Copyright Infringement
The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that both organizations used millions of Times articles to train their AI models without proper licensing or permission. The Times argues that these AI models, such as ChatGPT, create products that directly compete with the Times' offerings and divert audiences from its platform. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and a request for OpenAI and Microsoft to destroy any models and training data that utilize copyrighted material from the Times. The legal battle is expected to be complex and could potentially reach the Supreme Court.
Apple Explores AI Deals with News Publishers as Copyright Battles Heat Up
Apple has reportedly approached news publishers, including Conde Nast, NBC News, and IAC, for multi-year deals worth at least $50 million. These deals would involve training Apple's generative AI systems and potentially integrate news content into their AI offerings. This move by Apple is seen as a strategic attempt to compete with AI models, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, while avoiding potential copyright infringement lawsuits. Such deals would give Apple access to data from news publishers, enabling them to train their AI models without legal complications.
The New York Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft. While it's not the first copyright suit of its type, it's certainly the most significant so far. The case -- which will almost certainly end up at the Supreme Court -- could have significant ramifications for how LLMs and generative AI develops.
