Trump Administration Backs OpenAI in NYT Lawsuit, Challenging Intellectual Property Rights The Trump administration has intervened in the high stakes copyright lawsuit between The New York Times and OpenAI, filing a statement of interest that supports OpenAI's argument on fair use.
This move may seem counterintuitive given the administration's history with tech giants, but it reflects a broader strategy to reshape the regulatory landscape.
The lawsuit centers around allegations that OpenAI used NYT articles to train its AI systems without permission, prompting the news organization to seek billions of dollars in damages from Microsoft and OpenAI.
