The New York Times and the Daily News encountered an unexpected twist in their copyright lawsuit: an OpenAI engineer inadvertently deleted virtual machine search data that could have been key evidence, adding a dramatic turn to this high-profile legal dispute. According to a letter submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Wednesday night, lawyers and technical experts for the two media companies had previously invested over 150 hours searching OpenAI's AI training dataset. However, on November 14, an OpenAI engineer accidentally deleted data stored on the virtual machine.

LAION launched Re-LAION-5B, the world's first AI training dataset that fully removes links to CSAM, aimed at addressing the issue of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). This dataset has been significantly improved over LAION-5B and is mainly divided into two versions: Re-LAION-5B Research and Research-Safe. A total of 2,236 CSAM links have been removed, including 1,008 from child protection organizations' lists. The dataset contains 5.5 billion pairs of text and images, designed to help

Recently, the 'Diting' seismic wave large model, jointly developed by the National Supercomputing Center in Chengdu, the Institute of Geophysics of the China Earthquake Administration, and Tsinghua University, was officially released in Chengdu, Sichuan. This model is the first seismic wave large model in the country to reach 100 million parameters, marking a significant breakthrough in the integration of seismology research and artificial intelligence technology in China.

OpenAI has launched the Data Partnerships initiative to collaborate with third parties in creating public and private datasets for AI model training. OpenAI seeks data across multiple domains, languages, and formats to enhance the understanding of AI models. The initiative aims to collect various forms of data, including images, audio, and video, to reflect human society and achieve the goal of safer, more beneficial AI for humanity. OpenAI's initiative has sparked discussions about the rights of data owners and transparency.

The anti-piracy organization successfully demanded the takedown of the AI training dataset 'Books3' from the online piracy book repository The Eye. The 'Books3' dataset consists of 37GB of text, which has been used to train artificial intelligence models by multiple companies. The anti-piracy organization stated that AI poses new challenges to copyright and plans to continue combating other websites hosting this dataset.
