The US Government Backs OpenAI in Court

The Trump administration has sided with OpenAI in its ongoing legal dispute with The New York Times.

The dispute concerns the use of copyrighted material to train artificial intelligence models. The New York Times and other publications accuse OpenAI of using their articles without permission.

In documents filed with the court, the US government stated that using copyrighted material to train AI models can generally fall under the "fair use" provisions permitted by American law.

The outcome of the case matters beyond OpenAI alone. The court's decision could also affect how AI companies will be able to use text, images and other material published online to train their models in the future.
