More than 400 entertainment industry members signed a letter opposing OpenAI and Google's request for exemptions to use copyrighted content for AI training. This action, in response to the Trump administration's AI Action Plan, includes notable figures like Ben Stiller and Cate Blanchett. The letter states that AI companies are attempting to weaken copyright protections while asserting that fair use should be extended to AI technology. The signatories emphasize that these companies should negotiate licenses, adhering to existing copyright laws, to access creative works.
"There is no reason to weaken or eliminate the copyright protections that have helped America flourish, especially when AI companies can use our copyrighted material by simply negotiating appropriate licenses."
"We are arguing for a special government exemption that would allow them to freely exploit creative industries, undermining the very foundations of intellectual property rights that support our work."
