OpenAI's "Project Giraffe" revealed: Tool tracked copyright in 78M chats

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI secretly developed "Project Giraffe," an internal tool designed to detect copyright infringement within user conversations on ChatGPT. This system reportedly analyzed 78 million de-identified chats using Bloom filters to identify verbatim plagiarism. The existence of Project Giraffe contradicts OpenAI's previous claims of technical impossibility in searching training data for copyrighted material, and the subsequent deletion of these logs has raised concerns about evidence spoliation in an ongoing copyright lawsuit.
