The Trump administration is supporting OpenAI in the NYT copyright lawsuit

The Trump administration has filed a legal statement supporting OpenAI in a copyright lawsuit filed by The New York Times, which claims OpenAI illegally trained its AI systems on NYT articles without permission and seeks billions in damages. The administration argues that training AI models on copyrighted text qualifies as fair use (a legal doctrine allowing limited use of copyrighted material without permission), which contradicts The New York Times' position in the case.
