AI Copyright Battle Heats Up: NYT Denies OpenAI Access to Reporters' Notes
The ongoing copyright dispute between The New York Times and OpenAI has escalated, with OpenAI demanding access to journalists' notes and memos during the discovery phase of the lawsuit. The Times claims OpenAI's ChatGPT infringed on copyrights by using "near-verbatim excerpts" from their articles without permission.
OpenAI argues access to reporters' materials, including interview notes and records, is essential for their defense, particularly regarding fair use claims.
They contend simply having access to published works isn't enough to determine if ChatGPT copied "original works of authorship."
The Times vehemently opposes this, calling OpenAI's request "unprecedented" and unnecessary for copyright infringement claims. They argue the focus should be on the published works themselves, not their internal newsgathering process.
This case highlights the evolving landscape of fair use in AI training. OpenAI's data scraping approach, once commonplace, now faces increased scrutiny from rightsholders seeking to monetize their content. The Times' lawsuit and Reddit's recent data-scraping restrictions demonstrate a shift towards stricter data access regulations within the AI development community.

Key Institutions Enforcing the EU AI Act
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has outlined the main institutions responsible for enforcing the EU AI Act. At the EU level, the European Commission, through the AI Office, has exclusive powers over general-purpose AI (GPAI), overseeing compliance, coordinating cross-border investigations, and overruling national decisions when necessary. National market surveillance authorities manage other aspects, with extensive powers for surveillance, investigation, and enforcement. The European Artificial Intelligence Board advises on consistent application, supported by a scientific panel that issues alerts on systemic risks. The European Data Protection Supervisor also plays a role in enforcement.

China Promotes Global AI Cooperation With New Shanghai Declaration
China is advancing global AI cooperation through the Shanghai Declaration on Global AI Governance, a five-point pledge aimed at fostering open AI development and international collaboration. Announced at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, the declaration emphasizes AI research and development across various sectors, including healthcare, transportation, and agriculture.
The declaration includes commitments to AI safety, preventing the use of AI for public opinion manipulation and disinformation, and promoting the transfer of AI technologies under the principles of openness and shared benefit. It also addresses the mitigation of AI's impact on employment.
Chen Jining, party secretary for Shanghai, called for a collaborative effort from governments, the scientific community, and industry to ensure AI benefits humanity. Chinese Premier Li Qiang reiterated the importance of AI security and governance, expressing China's willingness to work with other nations to enhance global AI development. The declaration builds on China's existing AI governance initiatives, such as supporting the U.S.-led UN resolution on trustworthy AI and the Bletchley Declaration on AI Safety.

European Commission's AI Codes of Practice: A Self-Regulation Concern?
According to Euractiv, the European Commission plans to let AI model providers draft codes of practice for compliance with the AI Act, with civil society organizations consulted during the process. This approach has sparked concerns about industry self-regulation, as these codes will serve as compliance measures for general-purpose AI models until harmonized standards are set.
The Commission may grant EU-wide validity to these codes through an implementing act. Some civil society members worry this could enable Big Tech to essentially write their own rules. The AI Act's language on stakeholder participation in drafting these codes is ambiguous. The Commission has stated that an upcoming call for expressions of interest will clarify how various stakeholders, including civil society, will be involved. However, specifics are still lacking.
An external firm will be hired to manage the drafting process, including stakeholder engagement and weekly working group meetings. The AI Office will oversee the process but will primarily focus on approving the final codes.

German Court Allows Patents for AI-Generated Inventions
Germany's highest civil court, the Bundesgerichtshof, has ruled that inventions generated by artificial intelligence can be patented. This decision (english translation here) resolves a previous split between German federal appellate courts. The case is part of the Artificial Inventor Project, a global initiative led by Professor Ryan Abbott from the University of Surrey, aiming to patent AI-generated output.
This ruling contrasts with decisions in other jurisdictions, such as the United States, where a natural person must contribute substantially to an invention for it to be patentable. Earlier this year, the UK Supreme Court ruled that AI-generated inventions are inherently unprotectable. In Germany, prior court decisions had both overturned and upheld the German patent office's rejection of patent applications for AI-generated inventions.
The patent at the center of this case is for a food container designed using fractal geometry, created by an AI named DABUS ("device for the autonomous bootstrapping of unified sentience").

UK: Think Tank Calls for AI Incident Reporting System
The Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR) has highlighted a critical gap in UK AI regulation, calling for a comprehensive incident reporting system. According to CLTR, over 10,000 safety incidents involving AI systems have been recorded since 2014. As AI becomes more integrated into society, the frequency and impact of these incidents are likely to increase.
CLTR argues that a robust incident reporting system is essential for effective AI regulation, akin to those in safety-critical industries like aviation and medicine. This view is supported by experts and governments, including the US, China, and the EU. The proposed system aims to:
✅ Monitor how AI is causing safety risks in real-world contexts, providing a feedback loop that can allow course correction in how AI is regulated and deployed;
✅ Coordinate responses to major incidents where speed is critical, followed by investigations into root causes to generate cross-sectoral learnings;
✅ Identify early warnings of larger-scale harms that could arise in future, for use by the AI Safety Institute and Central AI Risk Function in risk assessments.

U.S. District Court in North Carolina Bans Use of AI in Legal Research
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina has issued a standing order prohibiting attorneys from using generative artificial intelligence for legal research. Lawyers must now file a certification with every brief, confirming that no AI was used in the research process and that all statements and citations were personally verified by the attorney or paralegal. This measure aims to ensure the accuracy and integrity of legal documents submitted to the court.
