OpenAI is attempting to overturn a court order that requires the company to retain copies of all user interactions, including those that have been deleted.
The request, published on June 5, is part of a copyright case filed by The New York Times.
The legal order, issued on May 13, tells OpenAI to stop removing output logs and to store them separately until further notice from the court. This includes logs that would normally be erased as part of routine system processes.

OpenAI’s Chief Operating Officer, Brad Lightcap, stated the company believes this step goes too far. He explained that the company is challenging the ruling to protect users’ privacy and trust.

OpenAI said its actions fall under “fair use”, a legal concept that allows limited use of copyrighted work under certain conditions. The New York Times disagreed, especially when the AI can recreate full sentences from its articles or help people avoid the site’s paywall by summarizing locked content.
