Trump Administration Backs OpenAI in New York Times Copyright Battle

The Trump administration has entered the copyright dispute between OpenAI and The New York Times, filing a statement of interest in Manhattan federal court in support of OpenAI’s position. The Justice Department argued that training large language models on copyrighted works can generally qualify as fair use and warned that overly restrictive copyright rules could undermine AI innovation, scientific progress, economic growth and U.S. national security.
