Trump Administration Files Brief Supporting OpenAI in Copyright Lawsuit
· Technology · TechCrunch, Wired, Reuters
The Trump administration has submitted a 20-page legal brief defending OpenAI's use of copyrighted material to train its large language models. The filing argues that restricting AI development based on fair use interpretations would hinder American economic prosperity and scientific progress. This intervention comes as part of a lawsuit filed by the New York Times against the ChatGPT maker in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The brief emphasizes the U.S. government's interest in maintaining global leadership in the artificial intelligence sector. While the filing supports OpenAI's position, it does not constitute a formal court ruling in the ongoing litigation.
Why it matters
The government's stance could influence how courts interpret fair use for AI training, potentially setting a significant legal precedent for the future of the global artificial intelligence industry.
