Judge denies creating “mass surveillance program” harming all ChatGPT users

A judge has dismissed claims that an order requiring OpenAI to retain ChatGPT logs constitutes "mass surveillance." The court mandate was issued to preserve evidence for a copyright infringement case initiated by news organizations. One user, Aidan Hunt, argued this retention infringed on privacy rights and created surveillance-like conditions. However, the judge deemed these concerns unrelated to the case's central issues. OpenAI is set to challenge the order, with oral arguments scheduled soon.
