The Trump administration has formally intervened in the New York Times' copyright lawsuit against OpenAI, filing a statement of interest that supports OpenAI's claim that using copyrighted text to train AI models constitutes fair use. The lawsuit, filed in December 2023, alleges OpenAI illegally used Times articles to train its AI systems and seeks billions of dollars in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft. The administration's stance could influence the legal boundaries of AI training data, potentially setting a precedent for fair use in generative AI. The case is closely watched by the tech industry and legal experts. (Source: The Verge, via Techub News)
The Trump administration has jumped into the copyright fight between The New York Times and OpenAI. This week, the government filed a statement of interest backing OpenAI’s claim that training AI on copyrighted material counts as fair use. Simple as that.
The Times filed the lawsuit in December 2023. It says OpenAI and its backer Microsoft used its articles without permission to train generative AI models, and it wants billions in damages. Big numbers. Big stakes.
And the administration’s stance could sway how fair use is read in AI training. That’s no small thing. The case is being watched closely because it may shape future rules around AI and copyright.
