Per Reuters, the U.S. government has formally backed OpenAI's claim that training on copyrighted text is fair use, partly on national-security grounds, in its legal case against The New York Times.
This is Washington's first formal intervention in the broader wave of AI-training copyright lawsuits, though the filing is advisory rather than binding on the court. The author calls it a massive win for OpenAI and AI training in general.
