Trump Administration Sides With OpenAI in Publishers’ Copyright Lawsuits

The Trump Administration and the DOJ are supporting OpenAI in copyright lawsuits filed by publishers, including the New York Times. In a court filing, the Justice Department argues that utilizing copyrighted content to train artificial intelligence models does not violate existing laws. Furthermore, the federal government asserts that requiring AI companies to pay for training data would undermine national security, siding with OpenAI against allegations of copyright infringement in these high-stakes legal battles over AI training.
