Apparently OpenAI doesn’t want anyone snooping on its former co-founder’s computer.
In a heavily redacted letter to the judge filed Thursday in New York federal court, lawyers for the Authors Guild said they objected to OpenAI’s inclusion in the lawsuit of six current and former employees as “custodians” – people who hold relevant evidence that must be turned over during discovery.
According to the letter, lawyers from both sides met multiple times and agreed on a list of 24 custodians, but stuck on six names, including co-founder and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, head of advance training data Kim-Ming Yuan, technical staff member Jeong-Wook Kim, technical staff member Shantanu Jain, former research scientist Karen O’Keefe, and former science communicator Andrew Main, who has written publicly about the importance of books as training data for his law degree.

Meanwhile, OpenAI has not publicly stated its reasons for opposing the inclusion of Sutskever and the other five in discovery. Now, lawyers for the Authors Guild are asking a judge to intervene and force OpenAI to include those names as custodians.
All six exhibits attached to the letter have been fully redacted at OpenAI’s request, which the company said in court documents that it requested the redactions because the exhibits contain proprietary source code and “discussions between OpenAI employees that describe the detailed process of training and testing the ChatGPT model.”
