Ex-Google VP Bindu Reddy rebuts NYU professor's claim that LLMs 'steal' research ideas
bindureddy · x · 2026-10-08
Bindu Reddy criticizes an NYU math professor's accusation that LLMs "steal" everyone's research ideas simply because OpenAI trained on public data. She calls the statement astounding, arguing that scholars get their ideas by reading prior work, not thin air — so learning from public material can't be equated with theft. The post feeds into the broader fight over AI training data and academic authorship.
