As tools like ChatGPT by OpenAI become more popular, a larger debate has been ignited among AI businesses in the United States over content creation and copyrights. AI startup OpenAI, the most valuable private firm in the world, recently won an important battle in this regard when a New York federal judge on November 7 dismissed a lawsuit against the company that alleged that the startup had misused articles from news outlets Raw Story and AlterNet to train its large language models. A spokesperson for the startup said in a statement following the ruling that OpenAI had built their AI models using publicly available data, in a manner protected by fair use and related principles, and supported by long-standing and widely accepted legal precedents.

The win is likely to further boost the future prospects of OpenAI, a startup that is already investing in other AI ventures.

The robot startup managed to raise more than $400 million in funding through the round. This valued the firm at more than $2 billion. Jeff Bezos and venture capital firms like Thrive Capital and Lux Capital were also part of the funding round.

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) develops and manufactures high performance server and storage solutions based on modular and open architecture. On November 6, Goldman Sachs slashed the price target on the stock to $28 from $67.50 and kept a Neutral rating on the shares. The reduction in the target reflects the increased risks to estimates due to disruption from Super Micro’s delayed annual filing and auditor resignation, the advisory told investors in a research note. The advisory added that the company’s Q1 preliminary results and Q2 outlook missed on lower than expected revenue. Combined with the absence of revenue guidance reiteration, it appears Super Micro may potentially be seeing some business challenges, contended Goldman.
