Lawyers for The New York Times and Daily News are suing OpenAI for allegedly scraping their works to train its AI models without permission.

Lawyers for the publishers say OpenAI engineers erased all their search data on a virtual machine on November 14 .

OpenAI has denied that it deleted any evidence, and instead suggested that the plaintiffs were to blame for a system misconfiguration.
