OpenAI has requested the US government to permit AI companies to train models using copyrighted material, aiming to maintain America's lead in artificial intelligence development.
OpenAI, the creator of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, has urged the US government to allow AI companies to use copyrighted material for training purposes to “strengthen America’s lead” in the field.
OpenAI made the request as part of a wider initiative presented to the US government on Thursday, aligning with President Donald Trump’s upcoming “AI Action Plan.”
The administration has sought input from the private sector, government, and academia, emphasising a policy shift aimed at preventing excessive regulations from hindering innovation. In its proposal, OpenAI advocated for a “freedom-focused” regulatory approach, urging the federal government to remove requirements that force American AI developers to comply with restrictive state laws.
One of the major challenges faced by AI developers is copyright, as many continue to train their models on human-created content without informing the original creators, obtaining consent, or offering compensation, according to NBC News.
“By preserving American AI models' ability to learn from copyrighted material, the federal government can secure Americans’ freedom to learn from AI and prevent forfeiting our lead in AI to the People’s Republic of China,” OpenAI’s proposal stated.
