The Trump administration has filed a brief in support of OpenAI in its ongoing dispute with The New York Times and other newspapers. The administration's brief argues that training large language models (LLMs) on copyrighted works generally falls under the umbrella of fair use. This intervention could significantly impact the legal landscape surrounding AI development and intellectual property rights, particularly concerning how AI models are trained using existing content.
