Trump Administration Sides With OpenAI in New York Times Copyright Lawsuit

The Trump Administration has sided with OpenAI in its copyright lawsuit against the New York Times. An intellectual property lawyer, Evan Brown, noted that while the presiding judge, Sidney H. Stein, is not obligated to be influenced by this, such a letter from the Department of Justice carries significant weight. This case is one of many high-profile lawsuits concerning AI companies training models on copyrighted work, following decisions like Kadrey v. Meta where the judge indicated that training on copyrighted materials without permission could be illegal under different circumstances.
