U.S. Government Supports OpenAI in Copyright Training Lawsuit

The Trump administration has filed a brief in support of OpenAI in a lawsuit brought by the New York Times regarding the use of copyrighted material for training large language models (LLMs). The brief argues that restricting LLM development under misinterpretations of fair use could hinder American economic progress and leadership in AI. The legal debate centers on whether the use of copyrighted works by AI companies can be considered transformative under fair use doctrine.
