Description:

In a high-stakes copyright lawsuit, Judge Ona Wong upheld an earlier order requiring the preservation of all ChatGPT conversations for evidence. This decision stems from a lawsuit by the New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft over alleged copyright infringement. The ruling has sparked concerns among users like Aiden Hunt, who worry that their private and sensitive conversations with ChatGPT could become part of legal proceedings. Hunt, unaware of the potential for his chats to be used as evidence, fears for the dissemination of personal and commercial information. OpenAI argues that the order undermines its privacy promises, as it forces the company to retain even deleted chats, contradicting its policy of removing such content within 30 days. Despite these concerns, Judge Wong stood firm, dismissing Hunt's constitutional arguments.
