Trump administration backs OpenAI in New York Times' copyright case over training of chatbots

The Trump administration has intervened in a closely watched legal dispute between OpenAI and the New York Times, filing support for the ChatGPT-maker. The case centers on the copyright implications of how artificial intelligence technology is built using millions of news articles.

At issue is the practice of ingesting and processing vast amounts of published text to train AI models. By backing OpenAI, the administration is wading into a pivotal legal battle that could significantly shape the future intersection of artificial intelligence development and copyright law.
