Trump administration sides with OpenAI in NYT copyright lawsuit
nordicinst · x · 2026-09-03
The Trump administration filed a brief in Manhattan federal court siding with OpenAI in the New York Times' copyright lawsuit, backing the use of copyrighted writing to train AI. The Times accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of using millions of articles without permission; other papers joined the 2023 suit. The brief cites US interest in retaining "global leadership in artificial intelligence." Though advisory only, it could bolster tech companies facing dozens of suits from authors, publishers, and music labels.
