OpenAI Must Produce 20 Million Chat Logs
10.0
U.S. Magistrate Judge Ona Wang ruled on Dec. 4, 2025 that OpenAI must produce 20 million anonymized ChatGPT chat logs in the New York Times-led copyright suit. Wang found the logs relevant and said the company's de-identification and safeguards reasonably mitigate privacy concerns, ordering turnover within seven days of removing identifiers. OpenAI has appealed the order to U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein.
