OpenAI urges US to allow AI training on copyrighted content

Reuters

OpenAI has asked the US government to permit AI companies to use copyrighted material for training to maintain America's leadership in AI development, as part of a proposal aligned with President Trump's upcoming "AI Action Plan."

OpenAI, the creator of the AI chatbot ChatGPT, has requested that the US government allow AI firms to use copyrighted content to advance the country's position in the AI sector. This request was submitted as part of a broader initiative aligned with President Trump’s “AI Action Plan.”

The administration has been soliciting feedback from the private sector, government, and academia to prevent overly restrictive regulations from hindering innovation. OpenAI’s proposal advocates for a regulatory approach focused on freedom, urging the federal government to remove state-level restrictions for AI developers.

A key issue for AI developers is copyright, as many train their models on human-created content without proper consent or compensation. OpenAI's proposal stresses that allowing access to copyrighted material will help secure America's AI lead and prevent China from overtaking the US in this field.
