OpenAI and Google ask for a government exemption to train their AI models on copyrighted material
Briefly

OpenAI is advocating for the Trump administration to grant AI companies an exemption to utilize copyrighted materials in training their models. In a blog post responding to the President's AI Action Plan, the organization emphasizes the need for a balanced copyright system that safeguards the rights of creators while facilitating innovation in the AI sector. The submission suggests that the U.S. can maintain its leadership in AI without compromising the interests of content creators. Google also supports this stance, highlighting the significance of fair use exceptions for AI development.
The federal government can both secure Americans' freedom to learn from AI, and avoid forfeiting our AI lead to the [People's Republic of China] by preserving American AI models' ability to learn from copyrighted material.
Balanced copyright rules, such as fair use and text-and-data mining exceptions, have been critical to enabling AI systems to learn from prior knowledge and publicly available data.
