A federal judge in Manhattan has ordered OpenAI to hand over more than 100 million de-identified ChatGPT conversation logs to copyright plaintiffs, marking the most aggressive discovery ruling yet in the sprawling litigation over AI training on copyrighted material.

Two federal courts reached opposite conclusions on whether AI-generated legal materials are protected from discovery, while the Supreme Court declined to extend copyright to AI-authored works, leaving the legal profession to navigate a patchwork of emerging rules with no clear federal framework.
