Trump Administration Support Move for OpenAI in Copyright Lawsuit
In the US, the Trump administration filed a statement of interest in favor of the artificial intelligence company in the copyright lawsuit brought by The New York Times against OpenAI.
The Trump administration intervened in the copyright lawsuit filed by The New York Times against the artificial intelligence company OpenAI, submitting a statement of interest supporting the company's defense.
Development and Scope of the Lawsuit
In this major copyright lawsuit filed in December 2023, The New York Times claims that OpenAI trained its systems on newspaper articles without permission. The newspaper is seeking billions of dollars in damages from both OpenAI and Microsoft.
Fair Use Defense in Artificial Intelligence Training
In the statement submitted to the court, the Trump administration argued that the use of copyrighted texts to train artificial intelligence models should be considered under fair use. American prosecutors stated that fair use restrictions would severely undermine scientific progress and national prosperity.

Media organizations continue to pursue different paths regarding the training of artificial intelligence models. While many media outlets enter into licensing agreements with artificial intelligence companies, some choose to resort to legal action.
