U.S. Government Supports OpenAI in Copyright Debate Over AI Training Data
The U.S. government filed a brief supporting OpenAI's use of copyrighted material for training large language models, arguing that restricting such practices would hinder AI innovation and global leadership. The filing emphasizes the importance of fair use doctrine in enabling AI development while acknowledging ongoing legal debates over copyright infringement.
"The United States has a strong interest in continuing to develop a robust and competitive artificial intelligence industry that sets the standard for the practice and procedure of AI use globally," the brief reads.
