US Government Supports OpenAI in Copyright Dispute Over AI Training
The US government, under the Trump administration, has filed a brief supporting OpenAI in its copyright dispute with The New York Times and other newspapers. The case concerns the use of copyrighted material to train large language models like ChatGPT. The government argues that AI training generally constitutes fair use and is vital for innovation, economic growth, and national security. While the brief is advisory, it may influence ongoing lawsuits over AI training and copyright law interpretations.
