The U.S. Department of Justice supported OpenAI's fair use claim in the New York Times copyright case.
The U.S. Department of Justice has submitted its opinion in the copyright case brought by The New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft, supporting the two companies' legal claims that model training may constitute fair use. This is the government's position, not a substantive court ruling.
The U.S. Department of Justice submitted its opinion in The New York Times v. OpenAI and Microsoft copyright case, supporting the defendants' legal claim that model training may constitute fair use.
The government document argues that courts should consider the transformative power of training materials, their impact on innovation, and the overall objectives of copyright law when analyzing their use. The case involves a copyright dispute arising from the use of news content to train a generative AI system.
This document represents the US government's legal position to the court, not a court ruling, and does not imply that OpenAI or Microsoft has won the case. The litigation is ongoing, and whether fair use is established will ultimately be determined by the court based on the facts of the case.
