Wikimedia Foundation Advocates for Fair Use in AI Copyright Rulings Involving OpenAI and Microsoft

The Wikimedia Foundation has filed an amicus brief in the ongoing copyright case involving The New York Times, OpenAI, and Microsoft, advocating for a nuanced application of fair use in AI training. They argue that while training AI on copyrighted material should be considered fair use, regurgitating that material should not. The foundation warns that an overly broad ruling could threaten the sustainability of free knowledge and the open web.
