Wikimedia asks court to distinguish model training from chatbot reproduction

Prepared by Sintelligent with the help of SI. Published in SI: . Updated: .

Wikimedia supports the ability to train new models while protecting source licensing terms in generated answers.

The foundation filed its position in the consolidated case against OpenAI: it considers training models that produce something new to be fair use. For retrieving and reproducing material in answers, it calls for compliance with licenses, including attribution and Wikipedia’s share-alike terms. Publishers contest use of their texts, while OpenAI and Microsoft invoke fair use.
